Pros

Learn great skills. Get to travel.

Cons

No time to enjoy life, Just as quick to fire you as fast as they hired you. Even though its a Union job, Unions has no power because they are bought out and at the mercy of the Facist Company. Many accidents have happened due too fatigue because of working long 12 to 15 hour days 6 days a week. Every year you get a 3% raise thats wiped out by the union increased fees and healthcare increase.
