Business Outlook
Pros
You will learn a lot, because Cato's scholars have a wide range of policy knowledge.
Cons
Do not expect competitive pay increases. I took a pay cut to work there and never made what my previous employer offered as a counteroffer. You will get cost of living adjustments at best. Also, some policy scholars are extremely confrontational, passive aggressive, or unprofessional.
