Pros

Everyone is very helpful. The job is laid back and the other workers are extremely nice and explain stuff to you.

Cons

The only downside I can think of is shoveling fish poop. It isn't the most glorious job either. That's the only downside.

Good learning experience with a cool federal department

Pros

I was surrounded by a lot of knowledgable and passionate people. As long as I made an effort to reach out and ask questions, I was able to learn a lot. I was also able to try a variety of things as long as I made my interests known to my superiors. Great learning experience.

Cons

It's a large government agency, so there are some typical problems. Sometimes I felt like I could be doing more, and that my skills/experience weren't being utilized as much as they could be. but like I said, I was an intern with a large government agency so it's to be expected that I would be somewhat limited to designated duties and not much beyond that.
