Pros

Overall great place to work. It's a very mission-driven Agency, and the staff tend to be smart, professional, and committed to the cause. The work is interesting and rewarding and there's good work-life balance. Flexiplace is available in most departments, meaning you can work 9 1/2 hours a day and have one day off per pay period.

Cons

The EPA's telework policy is antiquated, as as such, there's not much flexibility in terms of working from locations outside the office. Also, opportunities for upward mobility are very limited.

Pros

You'll make a lot of environmental contacts with state and industry. And for enforcement, you work with the department of justice to move pollution cases along.

Cons

Bureaucratic, slow, and run by the average manager. There's not a lot of outstanding intellect here, and you have to patiently wait for paperwork to be processed.

Pros

If you're passionate about environment, this is a place where you'll be surrounded by others who are too. EPA truly attracts some of the brightest in the field.

Cons

Political pressures on EPA can make feeling like you are making progress on particular issues difficult. As with many government jobs, finding pathways for advancement can be a challenge.
