Pros

Great learning resources, space for extreme creativity and experimentation. Field Trip Explainers are part of the SEIU union which provides great protection and alliance. Very kind and accommodating direct managers!

Cons

Being at the bottom of the hiring structure is not great - full-time employees don't recognize you if you are working as an explainer because you are only around during the school year, easy to feel disposable, the wages are low for the bay area.
