Pros

You get to work outside in beautiful locations and complete a variety of different projects. Housing is provided, and the crew begins to feel like family very quickly. It's great to be around like-minded people in a fun environment. Lots of opportunity to develop professional and personal skills. If you're interested in doing this kind of work for a career absolutely do ACE

Cons

All the pros can also be all the cons depending on what type of person you are. Working outside, meeting lots of new people, camping for 8 days at a time - all of that can be wonderful and difficult. The biggest con in my experience was the turnover. If you're planning on doing a term longer than 6 months, you'll see lots of friends come and go and for me that became pretty draining towards the end. Also, it can take a long time to actually start. It seemed pretty common to have a start date scheduled months after your interview.

Pros

This review is as full time central staff. If considering a seasonal position with a gov't agency through ACE, they are great! Flexible schedule Cool work Incredible team

Cons

Management is completely disconnected from work force. They're concerned with accolades and looking like they care, but will not actually listen or communicate with employees HR director is actively hostile and does not care about people 100% business focused despite being a non profit Values and mission are nothing more than words on a website
