Pros

I live in Montana and this is a great location in the mountains. Fellow workers are awesome. If you like montana you will love where this place is headquartered.

Cons

Richard Kimball is a crazy person. I worked at this place for four days before quitting. Kimball gave me a tour around the complex and told me everything that needed to be taken care of. (Most of which I had no experience in doing) The place was a complete mess and he kept blaming everything on the guy that worked there before me. Kimball had obviously not been there in months because he kept being surprised by everything he found. After he showed me around he left and went back to his home in Arizona where he stays for most of the year. He wanted me to email him a list of everything I had a accomplished in the day, everyday. I was a little annoyed but accepted it. Then he started accusing me of not being fully honest with him through email. I didn't put up with this and quit on the spot. He didn't give me a phone number and he wasn't there in person so I told him through email. All of the employees I spoke with said that he needs to go.

Pros

The staff and supervisors were very communicative and clear about expectations. I learned so much about legislative research. There were opportunities for professional development and intern socialization.

Cons

The internship was fully remote and unpaid. There was not much variation in the research tasks I was expected to complete.

Pros

Entry level, podcast-in-the-background work, easy-going, small organization, potentially cool supervisors

Cons

Work did not benefit my career at all, I was working on data entry most of the time. Work is also unpaid due to their low funding status. Looks like they only give interns the dirty work, and keep the good ones for themselves.
