      If you have promotion built in and a good manager, then this is a great place. If not, then be careful.

      Pros

      Business casual/casual dress code Laid back people Bonuses are ok for a fed. agency

      Cons

      Very political Red-tape Promotions past the GS-13 are dependent on your connections, not necessarily skills Ageism - (older vs. younger, older employees resent younger ones) Lots of dead weight Inexperienced management

      Pros

      Very positive, respective work atmosphere with great benefits and work-life balance. Some people may complain that working for the government can be less challenging or have limited growth potential. This can be the case, but if you are proactive and can prove your value to the right managers, there is a lot of opportunity to take on new responsibilities and recieve extra training.

      Cons

      There is a wide range in the ability/skill set of employees- meaning some employees are very bright, proactive, and deadline-oriented, whereas others just get by.

      Pros

      A nationally recognizable name that gives you a unique perspective on environmental issues. Working here, even as an intern, will give you a basis and perspective for any other environmental job you will have in the future.

      Cons

      People see the name of the EPA sometimes as a place that works to save the environment. True, but the agency is a regulatory agency, and a lot of actions are from that organizational philosophy. The agency is also very open to female managers, and you will see a number of very high-powered women-- not the case in every agency.
