Backroads – “Fun and adventurous for the young and fresh out of college”

Pros

Get to see other parts of the US or other places in the world (not everyone goes abroad, only ones with language skills or good luck.) If someone likes seasonal work, May through October, it is full on work with winters off (roughly 20% leaders get winter work). Most of the trip leaders are awesome people! and to get to work with them is so great. A very tight knit group of people that are very welcoming of new leaders each year.

Cons

LONG hours for trip leaders, with a very large workload for a pretty low wage. Quite competitive to get a decent trip leading schedule.
Find that some of the people that move into management or office positions from leading, do so without further skills training, which can be detrimental to the growth or support.
A lot of ebb and flow with people coming and going from the company with layoffs and re-hires depending on economy.
