Pros

EPA is a great place to work in terms of flexibility in work schedules. While the level of participation varies from office to office, the agency has a favorable stance on supporting a variety of options including compressed work schedules and telework.

Cons

While constantly combatting attacks from the Hill and questioning the need for the agency, the major issue of late has been the downsizing of staff. Less staff results in increasing workloads on those left behind. The opportunities for growth and opportunities for mid-level employees in nearly non-existent.

Pros

Great learning environment, a large amount of mentoring was provided. Days were highly structured and projects managed well. Flexible schedule allows for 4 day work weeks.

Cons

Workload can be a bit low at times. Some employees tend to be lethargic and take long breaks/vacations. Managers were sometimes a bit hard to get a hold of but came through.
