Pros

Beginner-level Experience for EM Field. First Hand Experience. Networking.

Cons

In Disaster Cycle Services, Overwork and Burnout. It isn't easy to find downtime. Programs are constantly changing without notice. Some regions get different or delayed information than others—difficult finding growth at a professional level. Heavily metrics driven. Some staff view volunteers as just bodies to do the work. The budget is a mess of not properly funded equitably. Not much of a work culture. There is a disconnect between different departments. Sometimes it feels like you are working 3 jobs at the same time if you don't have enough volunteers.
