Benefits of Journals/Practice Orgs as a 1L

Did any 2L's or 3L's have any good/bad experiences with either journals or practice organizations during 1L year? Are they a smart use of your time?

Is journal work (read:subciting) as a 1L valuable experience for 1L summers or law review write-ons? Or is it simply beneficial for the safety of having a journal to work for next year if you don't make LR?

Do practice organizations have any tangible benefits, especially for people who don't see themselves going into firms that do transactional work?
