Productive
Working Department of Interior afford me the opportunity to learn new technology. Work with very energetic staff and compelled me to push more. Pleasant work place

Terrible work environment
Trained supervisors, job training are non-existent. Management team are lifers who dislike new people coming in. Will make your work environment hostile.

Decent seasonal work if you can get it
Good work, difficult to get your foot in the door. Once you have a seasonal position, can move around to different parks if you are interested in that. Moving to full time, permanent is very difficult and can be tough since most positions already have a candidate in mind before the posting.

GIS Analyst
It was a good job. Work life Balance was great. Job was in Denver so it was little tricky to say the pay was good due to cost of living going up rampant in Denver Metro.

independent work schedule
independent work schedule. Paid overtime if needed without questions. Trusted employees to do jobs with minimal supervision but always there to help.
