Pros

Coworkers were some of the most interesting people I've ever met, both positively and negatively. Some really cool people but some reallyyyyyyy weird people too

Cons

Horrifically underpaid. If you work on the island there's no AC or indoor building. Literally $11/hr to be covered in your sweat, other people's sweat, dirt, and in direct sunlight. Also the dress code is oddly strict given their #freespirit vibe
