SEC Internships?

Hey all,
I have an internship interview for the SEC New York office, and was wondering what people's opinions were as an honest analysis. I get it, boo government regulatory sector, yay private sector, fine. But pragmatically speaking: How does it look on a resume? Does anyone have any experience in their "Spring 20XX Business Honors Program"? Anyone have friends or coworkers that spent time working for/with the SEC? Any insight would be hugely beneficial. Thanks all!
