Great Mission, Poor Career Growth

Pros

Excellent benefits, great learning atmosphere, clearance

Cons

There is little room to move up. No growth potential. In order to go up in the government here, you have to get out.

Pros

My job has awesome benefits and I work with very understanding staff. Even in responding to emergencies people at the Agency know how to manage work/life balance. The Agency does important work for keeping American agriculture safe.

Cons

A lot of employees telework, so sometimes the office can seem empty. As with any federal environment, there are a high number of tenured employees who seem unmotivated and/or tired. But the Agency supports leadership at all levels and offers a myriad of opportunities for coaching, leadership development, and promotion potential that anyone could take advantage of.

Great Mission and Benefits, Lousy Management

Business Outlook

Pros

The agency has a great mission, and there are a lot of talented employees working for APHIS. There's a lot of innovation, often driven by creative, dedicated employees.

Cons

Politics, bureaucracy, and horrible managers (some, not all) who stifle innovation because solutions don't fit into their scorecards or little boxes of predefined solutions.
