Pros

Get to travel work and see different places stateside and overseas. On a typical day you will know what you will be working and other times clients needs on the waterfront will take priority.

Cons

Work/life balance can be difficult. There is enough work year round if working overtime is your cup of .... Lastly the Pay is not competitive for the area.
