Pros

- The teaching side of things is fun. - If you have no life or responsibilities outside of work it might be for you

Cons

- Expected to do 50+ hour weeks for near minimum wage during busy periods - Not advertised or mentioned in advert or interview process what the 'real' hours of the job were. - 3 month notice period - way too long for how low the pay is and makes finding another job difficult. - Head office overbooking and leaving those on the ground to deal with it seems a common theme - Company refuses to pay overtime rather has people accrue loads of toil and forces them to take it when work is dead/there are no bookings anyway.

Pros

You learn a lot on the job about the environment and leading groups outdoors.

Cons

Low pay, especially with no London weighting. Can be very stressful, due to high responsibility and low training.
