Pros

Really making a difference in people's lives. You're far freer to move outside the system to help people and bring aid to projects as you are not an official employee of the organization with which you work, but a member of Americorps.

Cons

Work is uniformly very difficult and high stress. Organizations you work with sometimes see you as nothing more than free labor and treat you as a non-entity. Your role can change in a heartbeat, and there is very little recourse for that. Compensation is not tied to cost of living and can be very bad for large cities. Benefits are also nothing more than catastrophic care.
