Pros

Quite a bit of freedom in scheduling your work. Or at least until this year. Decent pay and health insurance.

Cons

24-7 on call, lots of out of pocket expenses, lots of driving time that you do not really get paid for, all extra work customer demands you will do without additional pay. Terrible hours, I work in the mornings to late afternoon then have to go back and work at night finishing my work around 2 or 3 am , then have to start all over again next morning. Forget vacation. Yes they give you vacation, but in order to take it you have to finish all your accounts and call backs that take the entire month in 2 or 3 weeks. You will be so tired when you take vacation that you'll do nothing but sleep.This job well leave you burned out with no time for life.

Pros

A job and make some money

Cons

Everything. You are on your own to sink or swim. If you have a family or a life outside of work you and kiss them goodbye because you will never see them again. You will drive 5 hour one way and work 9 hours in the hot sun with only a 30 minute lunch break and then drive 5 hours back home only to have to do it again the next day which is only a few more hours.
