Backroads – “If you're looking to travel, be transient, and be happy and poor, this is the job for you”

Pros

It is a phenomonal way to meet some incredibly inspiring and interesting people, to be able to live in regions and possibly even countries you may never have on your own, and a great "time waster" before settling down. There is also a huge trust in leaders, giving them company credit cards and full exposure to all documents from day 1.

Cons

-Low pay, no benefits unless you work for a certain amount of days, which most people don't hit
-Management styles are all different, and some clearly friendlier than others
-Very seasonal work, making off-seasons tough to get through financially

Advice to Senior Management

Communicate better with leaders about their performance, ESPECIALLY during training, and about what the job really entails. I can't tell you how many leaders I have spoken with that had no idea just how seasonal the work is.
