Pros

Smart, committed activist who think daily about how we can live in a better world but hampered by the inertia of 45 year old organization and constant restructuring.

Cons

This is not a campaigning organization - it's a well-intentioned Google Docs factory. 80% of time is to discuss what they're going to do instead of doing. Countless working groups are formed each year to devise theoretical, existential positions on environmental issues without any concrete action. More time spent talking internally than to the public. Democracy ethos gives way to a severe lack of executive leadership.

Pros

It was wonderful! The people were friendly and open-minded. I enjoyed going to different places like Buffalo, NY and Ithaca, NY. I loved being able to do my small part to make a difference on this planet. I'm passionate about the environment.

Cons

Not paid enough, and I didn't get to acquire any computer skills.
