Interesting, but hierarchical - Agriculturist Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Employee Review

Very smart and hard working people that are dedicated to the mission.

Although there is an organizational structure, it often isn't followed and causes duplication of efforts and lines of communication.

USDA APHIS has an important mission, protecting the American food supply from disease. When I’m working I am driven by this mission to do everything I can to succeed.

There is always more work to be done than you could do even if you worked all day and night. It is stressful trying to balance the demands of an important mission with your personal life.
