Pros

They teach you how to guide rafts starting from no experience. Can be fun and coworkers are nice. Don't have to clock out for breaks, but breaks can be very limited and are dependent on when you get back from trips. Provide continued education opportunities during summer.

Cons

Inconsistent hours. Long days (8 hours outside). Must schedule availability about a month in advance and there is no flexibility. Some supervisors have no whitewater experience.
