Pros

Everyone is friendly in the resource management side. Work is fun and it brings cool people from all over. Being in proximity to a beautiful place is such a privilege. Its a great place to gain experience and make connections.

Cons

Proper notice (2 weeks) for termination of seasonal employees is not given. Bureaucracy is very prevalent. Mistreatment of Native Americans in present day is a WELL known fact. They will make sure you know that you are easily replaceable.

Pros

The mission is amazing. The desire to protect and preserve natural and cultural treasures is an uplifting goal.

Cons

The people doing the work are universally demoralized and demotivated by NPS managers. There is very little trust, nearly no promotional opportunities. It is not possible to stress how happy I am that I quit after years of public service. I am also very sad that the park service is not interested in genuine talent retention or promotion.
