Still the good ol' boys club - Civil Engineer US Forest Service Employee Review

Pros

Lots of time spent in the forest, good pay, good potential for moving up the ladder

Cons

I've never felt so disrespected as a woman. Women in my office were regularly told that we "weren't ready" for greater responsibility, while less qualified men were given more than they were qualified for. I had to listen to my bosses sexist and racist jokes and comments on a daily basis and there was nothing I could do about. Federal employees really do live up to their reputations as being lazy and not caring, because why should they? It's impossible to get fired or to make any real change happen.
