Pros

Awesome passionate coworkers, beautiful fieldwork locations, and interesting projects! Seasonal positions are a great way to see the country and acquire useful and relevant experience. All parks that I've worked at have been welcoming, with a culture that values individual wellness and work-life balance.

Cons

The endless seasonal grind requiring a new job/move every six months (or less) can get old quick. It's very difficult to get a foot in the door to more permanent positions and it can become discouraging. Seasonal benefits aren't as good as those permanent employees receive (although better than non-fed seasonal positions I've had).
