Pros

Flexible hours if bedded, good benefits, easy work.

Cons

The administration at CBG doesn't care at all about its volunteers or employees. They continue to give themselves 30k-40k bonuses each year on top of their 6 figure salaries while laying off others and reducing pay due to "budget cuts", yet somehow the garden has seen exponential increases in attendance and revenue as well as breaking our record for attendance two years in a row. This place is a joke for upward mobility, unless you know someone in the administration personally. Oh, and if you work in the security or custodial department prepare to be blamed and accused of just about everything that the administration can think of. This place is run just like the IL government: corrupt and they only care about lining their own pockets.
