      Great Agency, People Mostly Great

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Admirable agency mission; many employees truly care about the resources, animals, ecosystems, etc. Good professional growth opportunities.

      Cons

      National wildlife refuge managers have too much unilateral power; there aren't enough checks and balances heading up the chain--and there's some lingering good 'ol boy-ism--so one bad manager can reverse years of community and conservation work and throw an entire refuge down the tubes.

      Great mission and great people but under-resourced and actively being dismantled

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you care about conservation, it's difficult to find Federal agency with a more focused mission. The people are great and intensely dedicated. The work is incredibly rewarding.

      Cons

      Whipsaw between administrations can be exhausting. Morale is currently terrible, understandably. Each program has its own culture, some better than others. Chronically underfunded.
