Getting paid time off for an internship is pretty decent
They are very family orientated and will let you revolve around your family and will help you meet your deadlines.
This is better than most of private industry. You accrue paid time off per pay period and you can carry over 240 hrs of annual vacation a year. There is no cap on how much sick leave you can carry over from year to year. However you don't have designated maternity or parental leave so if you are planning on having children, save up your leave. They also have a leave bank that you can use if you contribute to it if you run out of leave for medical reasons. You can donate your leave to specific people as well as long as they have registered. This helps a lot with people who have serious illness and who can't keep working.
This is among NSA's strongest benefits.
Federal government has the best vacation plans available. With the ability to earn credit time, you can take up to an additional 24 hrs off as often as you can earn it.
