Not bad, but not near enough pay

Farmyard interpreter

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great perks, even for non-benefitted employees, good people, and a gorgeous historic workplace.

Cons

You make very little on most jobs, especially considering the high COL in the area. If you are guest-facing, you work weekends and holidays, often with little reward. Don't expect much upward mobility here.
