Pros
Overall great place to work. It's a very mission-driven Agency, and the staff tend to be smart, professional, and committed to the cause. The work is interesting and rewarding and there's good work-life balance. Flexiplace is available in most departments, meaning you can work 9 1/2 hours a day and have one day off per pay period.
Cons
The EPA's telework policy is antiquated, as as such, there's not much flexibility in terms of working from locations outside the office. Also, opportunities for upward mobility are very limited.
