      Pros

      Fun atmosphere working with the kids and usually a go-getter crowd for counselors ranging from experienced to brand new. Easy to get time off if needed.

      Cons

      Too many people are hired and too few kids attend the program leaving a person working maybe 10 hours a week at minimum wage. Management isn't always organized or good at communicating down.
