      A pretty good government agency, save the politicians

      Pros

      Doing work for the environment generally was a good thing; very flexible hours and generally very solid enforcement attorneys. Fairly interesting enforcement cases.

      Cons

      Sometimes attorneys doing enforcement were thwarted because of upper management ideas about what should and should not be enforced (regardless of what the law says). Also, very bureaucratic an incredibly slow.

      Pros

      Work you can't get anywhere else, front runner of environmental protection among nearly all the countries of the world, excellent and extremely well-educated and dedicated senior management

      Cons

      Most people are unmotivated career public servants, they are usually never very bright and rarely committed to working past 5pm (and this is after daily 2 hour lunch breaks), the pay is paltry and the advancement and development opportunities are non-existent.
