Pros

Lots of travel - most projects have a duration of one week; you constantly get to meet new customers. Pay is ~average. Work is easy; little engineering to do, it's mostly building or doing QA for an already pre-built system. Full autonomy when onsite; you bear the full onus to ensure completion on time with little micromanaging. P

Cons

All pros could be considered cons - depends on what you're looking for
