Pros

Great summer gig. The people are awesome, the work is demanding, but very enjoyable. I worked as a raft guide and doing that you meet and work with people from all walks of life.

Cons

Schedule is not consistent, although hours are abundant. Honestly if you love the outdoors and are looking for summer work there really isn't anything bad to say about the place.
