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.
