Pros

Very educational and wide resources available for continued education. The projects varied and each day yielded a different type of work which was overall satisfying.

Cons

A few days in the office were slow, however on those days we were allowed to use Smithsonian facilities.

There is a strong community and network in museum and natural science collections and support.

Cons

Working conditions have a standard of museum environment settings, not ideal for those that desire to be outside all day.
