Pros
Opens doors for great people with a past
Cons
A little bit disorganized in communication methods
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
If you want to get involved with your local non profit, check and see if they have an Americorps VISTA position available. It is a good way to dip your feet in, or jump in over your head! it is a year of service, and I learned so much. I picked up new hard skills, and AmeriCorps helped me re-locate.
Cons
I had a very hard time accessing their health benefits. This was due to me having a name change, but still-the beaurocrocy made it so difficult that I gave up and was thankfully able to rely on Medi-Cal. Also, I was told that I would still qualify for foodstamps. I moved my family from Ohio to California for this position for very low pay. How ever, When I got here I was told there had been a recent change, and the rule for food stamps and AmeriCorps would no longer apply.

Pros
Resource -food stamps -aid the community -scholarship for school
Cons
-Doesn’t pay a lot -heavy workload
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Overall it's a good experience. An opportunity to give back to a community, even one that is where you didn't grow up. They have assistance with relocation, and an end of service bonus if you complete your service. If you are trying to get to work for the federal government, this will help you get in a bit easier.
Cons
Living stipend, which is possible to live off, just be ready and smart with your money.

Pros
Great mission, and volunteers/members are amazing.
Cons
Processes are nonlinear. Agency makes processes far too complex (CHC, etc.) and well-meaning human service agencies don't have time to focus on the important community service elements due to heavy-handed requirements from CNCS.
