Business Outlook
Pros
Getting to work in beautiful places, historic places. Working with co-workers who are dedicated to the mission. Serving visitors who love Park Rangers and love the national parks.
Cons
The Peter Principle is alive and well in the National Park Service -- most of upper management is very incompetent, totally out of touch with the field staff, and shows little care, concern or support for the field and seasonal staff. Most of my colleagues in most parks seems to feel there is a huge morale problem. Also, many of the jobs are seasonal, and seasonal staff is not recognized for their commitment or contributions like permanent staff is.
