Pros
Can pick your own shifts and sites
Cons
Scam you out of money, due to the pay cycle structure, when working a 2 week swing which amounts to 154 hours (77 per week), you can receive as little of 2 hours of overtime in this period instead of the 78 you are owed (39 hours per week worked in excess of 38 ordinary hours). This is because you get paid every 2 weeks, but you must have a week off in-between each swing. If your week off and one of the two working weeks fall together within the period, due to you working 77 hours in the two weeks, you only get 1 hour overtime despite these hours being worked within just one of the weeks. You work like a dog and receive minimum wage. Go via an agency which pays around $7 per hour more for the same work.
