NC DENR is an organization of skilled professionals who feel strongly about improving our environment. - Engineer Intern NCDENR Employee Review

Great coworkers. Wealth of knowledge. Learning opportunities.

Compensation. Benefits. Paperwork. Have to pay for parking.

The compassion of the employees is great. Everyone wants to do whatever they can to serve the residents to the best of their abilities. There is a lot of flexibility to get the job done without a lot of micro-managing. I didn't get involved with my field to get rich, it's the ability to actually see the efforts of your work. This is a great thing.

The pay. What else is there? Your pay starts at the low range of the pay scale and any raises are dependent on the Legislature. Six years and counting without any. I don't consider the 1% a raise. Don't look for any promotions anytime soon either. The career ladder, if there even is one, is about one step high.
