Passionate colleagues and good benefits, but political stress

Pros

Most people who work at EPA are passionate about their work and mission. The pay and benefits are pretty good compared to many other environmental jobs.

Cons

Politics, of course - strategic direction changes at least every couple years as priorities change. And lots of stress lately about potential layoffs and uncertainty. After the first few years, advancement is quite slow.
