Pros

Good pay Flexible hours Supervisors try to help you practice career skills.

Excellent work culture Inclusive and diverse

Cons

Limited paid positions available, you might have to volunteer for a while first but they'll still throw you paid honorarium opportunities when they come up, and they're even more flexible with hours and responsibilities for volunteers, so this isn't even really a con.
