Pros

The money is above minimum wage. Assignments are temporary but it is work and when one is out of work - anything is appreciated. On the Decennial 2010 census a lot of workers made new friends who you can rub shoulders with to assist with future job opportunities.

Cons

Managment stinks. Very unprofessional - too many unemployed U.S. citizens who take on managerial roles with the U.S. Census. They have enormous egos and limited understanding in all aspects of enumerating the U.S. Population. Many procedures of the U.S. Census Bureau are archaic including their IT department.

Pros

Made a lot of connections, both social and professional

Cons

The only downside was that it was temporary, and won't happen again until 2020. (some operations may start in 2019).
