Low pay, long hours, and bad working conditions and management. - Legislative Aide Hawaii House Employee Review

Learn a lot, meet a lot of interesting people. Good pay and vacation and sick days.

The legislative system is complex.

Great staff to work with in a collegial atmosphere. Great opportunity to learn from the ground the procedures to create new law, such as research, drafting, and collaboration with stake holders. Opportunity for growth and other professional opportunities.

Long work hours. Very steep learning curve. Minimal guidance. Bureaucratic tendency towards hiring and opportunities to grow. Little feedback on progress, no status reviews on work product.
