Pros

Circus environment can be exciting, the kids are bright and expressive. Free housing included, though the tradeoff is maximum work.

Cons

Community is tight knit and hostile to outsiders, multiple HR issues brought up and dismissed. Contract work hours are used to squeeze maximum labor for minimum pay out of employees. Service workers like Kitchen Staff should prepare to be treated particularly poorly by the well-off staff. Housing quarters are shared and roommates are matched in ways that are often uncomfortable.
