Business outlook
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.
