Pros
In general I feel the work environment is positive; the employees and supervisors usually care about what they do very much. That passion is what drives many employees, including myself, to really try to excel at their jobs. My job was a mix of field and office work.
Cons
The hiring process is onerous. I applied for 20 government jobs, all of which I was well-qualified for, before getting this one. There seem to be a lot of directives from higher-up in the NPS from people that clearly don't have knowledge of what happens on the ground. Also, the higher one advances in their career, the more administrative their job becomes. I think this results in many people becoming burned-out over time.
