Pros

You WILL work like a slave, but hopefully you'll find it to be a labor of love. The most incredible part of this program/job, in my opinion, is the Team Service Project and how you get to do some great, full-fledged, hands-on community organizing!

Cons

The health package sucks, good luck if you get hit by a car. Also you're friends, family, and significant other will likely feel neglected because of the time you have to spend on work for Public Allies, especially after normal business hours and on weekends. This is truly a large time commitment.
