Pros

It's cool being in and around DC every day, and you get a feeling for the culture of the city and the government. Good training so you don't get lost when you're first wandering around the city. Participating in actual government work that you can read about in the news.

Cons

Long hours, and not great pay (though that might depend on the office). Summertime in Washington can be really hot. Work can get tedious.
