Great mission of helping disaster survivors

Shoddy management by personality. Seems unable to sustain a reliable infrastructure.

Doesn't RecommendI have been working at FEMA full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
The most rewording career anyone could dream of because it’s all about serving people in need.
Cons
Good Old Boy Network is alive and well! Covert Racism, Sexual-Harassment and Bullying allegations have been swept under the rug for years. Working in a hostile work environment has become the norm.
Advice to Management
Start taking action on employee misconducts so that it instills confidence back into leadership.
