Pros

Lingo, some people are great and genuinely want to support you, fun holiday party

Cons

Leadership is smarmy and dishonest, often makes it feel catty/like high school. Paid scraps, but don’t worry there’s a bike team!!!!! Parking prices are egregious with $18 day parking (not to mention, you have to book 1 week in advance), or 160 annual membership that’s always waitlisted. Alternative is museum of science for $30

Pros

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Cons

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
