Pros
Help Americans every day, protecting human health and the environment. Large numbers of coworkers dedicated to the mission and to public service. Sometimes possible to make real contributions.
Cons
Bureaucracy and poor management have transformed the agency into an ineffective, unfocused mess. Inept, unethical, and abusive management. Hiring and promotions impacted by discrimination and good old boy/girl networks. Waste, fraud, and abuse by political appointees and at all other career levels tolerated and covered up. Decisions at a science agency made by higher ups with no experience or education. No training for employees to keep up technical skills unless you are favored by management.
