Pros
Very agreeable compensation Flexible schedule Enjoyable camaraderie Sense of pride from working for the US gov't Lots of opportunities to make "Silence of the Lamb" references involving fava beans Solid, comprehensive and PAID training Good experience for individuals interested in campaign field work
Cons
Temporary Interactions with citizens can be tenuous, unpleasant, downright creepy Lots of tedious paperwork Nobody really wants to speak with a census-taker Employers don't generally care much if you have USCB experience-- it's nearly worthless on a resume
