Ventajas
Fun culture, great management, working out doors, people care about the environment, pay is based on training, merit AND experience, free places to camp in the Inland northwest, get fit, free food when on trips. Pay is better than just about any other guide company. People are paying you to go rafting... what more could you want?
Desventajas
If you're a guide who like drugs/tobacco (I didn't care but some do), you'll have to quit as there is testing. You will be required to do public speaking, so be ready. Making money/advancing in the guide world is always tough - it's a hard field to make a career out of. If you're looking for big money, this isn't for you. ROW is almost too hesitant to fire people. Guiding is dangerous. Some people should not do it.
