Business Outlook
Pros
Lots of room for growth and constantly learning new subject matter (from legislation, to community outreach, to writing/research and marketing). Great opportunity to learn the ins and outs of State Government, the Legislative Process, and Electoral Campaigning.
Cons
Your employment is at-will, which means you can be fired without cause...which means sometimes you can be at the whim of abusive bosses. Tough work/life balance. If you work for a Legislator, your job is dependent on their winning re-election. Human Resources buries reports on misconduct, sexual harassment, assault, and discrimination, so you will not find much support if you have to report an abusive boss.
