Protecting the environment was a tremendous goal.
Human Resources Coordinator (Former Employee), Denver, CO – August 20, 2012
Pros: free bus pass
The best part of the job was the work it self and the ability to advance within the position as well as the opporunity to advance into other positions. I loved the work and the people. The benefits were excellent. The EPA values its people and treats employes fairly. The hardest part of my work were short deadlines and many layers of review. This was – more... especially true when we were developing policy. I found my co-workers to be good team players and hard workers. I learned to meet deadlines, to be rated when doing training or mediation. I learned to have a tough skin and to be flexible. I have excellent computer and writing skills. I have excellent communication skills that helped me in mediations, working with people. – less
