      Pros

      So many, but getting to teach marine science to kids from all over California, is my favorite part! Also, the ocean-front campus is so beautiful. I feel lucky coming to work.

      Cons

      Summers are busy and some times it gets hot in the sun during some experiences. But cooling off in the ocean makes it worth it

      Pros

      Location and the lower level employees are so sweet.

      Cons

      Terrible president and management, the woman president is catty , incompetent and never working, makes sure to hire “yes men” and strategically manipulating the board to keep husbands friends and pay herself top dollar while everyone else suffers at severe below market pay.
