Pros
It's amazing to work for an organization dedicated to education and to making informal learning fun. My coworkers were wonderful, passionate people for the most part, who were honestly trying to make a difference. Benefits package is phenomenal.
Cons
The Smithsonian is severely understaffed these days and there's a great divide between what senior management believes makes sense and what employees on the ground know to be true about our visitors and stakeholders. A lot of departments operated in a fairly siloed manner and it can be difficult to convince people in other departments to work with you.
