      Pros

      If you are inspired by an organization's mission and are a soldier for the environment, EPA is the place to work.

      Cons

      If you are a star, you better watch your back. You show other people who are comfortable with average or below average and it pisses them off. There are a lot of people with "it's good enough for government." It's hard to get rid of bad apples.

      Pros

      Driven by a mission to project human health and the environment. Opportunities for scientists, environmentalist, environmental lawyers, investigators and other professionals Some of the hardest working people I have ever met, work at the EPA Successful employees are highly self motivated

      Cons

      As part of the Federal government, a general lack of respect from the congress, politicians, comedians, etc. is hard to tolerate. Although some of the hardest working folks I have ever met work at EPA, there are some of the standard bureaucratic employees that give government employees a bad name here as well

      My time at the EPA was challenging, and fulfilling, but career EPA bureaucrats were not always friendly or helpful.

      Pros

      -Excellent pay (for a college student) -Minimal manager interference with work -The community among interns is fun and supportive -Schedule was flexible, as long as a put 40 hours in a week -Some co workers would go out of their way to show you the ropes and fill you in on the office social dynamics

      Cons

      -Your manager may be a slob, and is very unfriendly to interns who have no previous connection to the office.
