Department of the Interior Employer Reviews

This was a decent place to work, I was able to work with some of the premier American history experts in the country, and learned a alot

My experiences was to work at the personnel office such as making copied, worked on paperworks, delivered paperworks, and more

I learned to communicate with co-workers by e-mails.

The most enjoyable day of the work is to chat with some co-workers.

Loved it and the people that I worked with. Plus Olympic National Park was not a bad place to call home for a few months.

The department of the interior offers many different career paths. I work for the Bureau of Land Management in the Division of Minerals. Typically I create and maintain shape files and maps in GIS for the geothermal program for the state of Nevada, entry of geothermal production reports and verification into GRASS, entry of new mining claims into LR2000, – more... correspond with district offices to obtain data for sage grouse stipulation standardization and mapping, and filing of geothermal information and correspondence. – less

I had a great time working for the department of Interior. I learned a lot from my fellow co workers and supervisors. They were willing to continue education.

long lunch breaks, OK management, if you love being around the public this is the job for you.

Installation of power & light system: ½” EMT. Installation of receptacles including 240V: ½” EMT. Installation of Data-Transferring system: 1” EMT. Installation of Tele-Communication establishment: 12’ in trapeze. Installation of over-head conduit runs: ½” and 1” EMT. Installation of main feeder circuits, as well as branch circuits. All which were hard – more... piped. My coworkers were all close, well trained, and excelled electricians. The instructor, or my boss, was one of a kind, and the best master electrician I know. The most enjoyable part of it was running hundreds of feet of overhead EMT completely flush and precise. The hardest part of my job would be working alongside drywallers who would be insulating next to us, and having to work in it. – less

We start off everyday with a staff meeting about who works where and what needs to be done. After the meeting we go to assigned areas and do what needs to be done. The people are nice while you work from time to time. My co-workers were awesome and helped me with whatever I needed. The management was just as helpful. The hardest part of the job was – more... getting there without a car. The best part of the job was working with the people I was working with and the pay rate. – less

It was a good challenge. I learned a lot about conflict management.

almost everyday your outside doing brush clearing, going by boat or truck to campsites. Trash cleanup, sewage pumping, makeing/fixing trails. co workers are hard workers. really enjoyable job

It was hard work, but I was dedicated and able to keep up. The job was to keep the parks clean for the summer; it was nice to see the sights while at it.

I volunteered for a one day event. Everything went well, i have no complaints/

DOI is a great place to work and it has its Perks as in able to go to the National Parks for free. get to see Zion National Park For free! and everyone takes care of eachother

No complaints. Just a long commute. Would prefer something closer to home even if there is a small salary cut.

Working with the Bureau of Land Management is quite the job. Working with so many different program areas nothing is ever the same from day to day. The management encourages learning and being multi facted. Where else could a GIS Specialist also be a certified Sawyer?

loved working here.
maintaince of engine and all equipment
initial attack of fires

If you like the outdoors then this would have been your ideal job. Days consisted of planning field work followed by going into the field to spend the next couple days canoeing a river to survey islands. I learned how to effectively plan field work so that it was accomplished efficiently. The hardest part of this job was exposure to bugs and the elements.

Either on fires of doing project work, the BLM was an interesting and exciting place to work.

Working for the National Park Service was a very fulfilling and rewarding job. I had the opportunity to meet a lot of people from all over the world that was interested in seeing the African Burial Ground National Monument. It was my pleasure to tour people around and educate them about the history of America and the beautiful landmark that we know – more... today as the African Burial Ground. – less

I was hired to assist with the removal and refurbishment of the headgates at the bottom of the dam.
