Pros

Met some of the greatest people, you will undeniably increase your speaking skills as a tour guide and will get to meet a plethora of people along the way. Your co workers are pretty much the people that keep you sane in this work. Hours are pretty flexible.

Cons

The pay is !@#$, as a tour guide you get paid basically minimum wage. On days that you are working there will be times where you will walk and talk for about 3-4 hours straight . super exhausting more so because there is no organization regarding how many tours may go out per time frame. This position has a lot of times when it becomes very taxing on you and may be somewhat of a pain. The most any "tour guide will make is 8.50" and raises only happen rarely. Also if you are an ambassador you learn more content and are more viable for tours but get paid just as much as someone that only has to learn one script. Worked there for quite a few years and was still paid the same.

Pros

Good Pay, Professionalism are some solid reasons to work for UC Riverside. Also, a nice location in sunny Southern California throughout the year.

Cons

Can be somewhat stressful, and there is a bit of a rat race to push through in order to get an above average salary or career path while remaining at this location.
