Pros

Well-positioned to effect positive environmental change; reasonable opportunity at staff level to move among different environmental media (air, water, etc.) and offices; Agency is well-supported by the Obama Administration; jobs tend to be very secure at staff level

Cons

Progress on issues can be slow due to huge number of in house stakeholders and concomitant number of meetings; senior managers have inordinate power to negatively affect careers with very little fear of recourse; many Congressional Republicans try to make it difficult for Agency to do its job through limiting funding and "oversight" activities

Pros

Work-life balance, respect of superiors and colleagues, sometimes you still get to further the mission.

Cons

Most of the time the administration slows down progress on projects and cases. Morale is at an all-time low.
