Pros

EPA's mission is amazing. Regional Staff (non mgmt) get vital work done. Staff are dedicated, creative, capable and hardworking. Some upper managers are also capable. Most first-line supervisors are good.

Cons

EPA Region 9 and EPA HQ promotes & tolerates petty and less capable Senior Exec Service (SES) Mgrs . EPA R9 conducts "360 reviews" and then doesn't followup. Reg 9 hires a mix of scientists and non-scientists and then doesn't give non-scientists equal opportunities. R9 top managers work ok w/ Tribes but not w/States/NGOs.

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.
