      Pros

      Better pay and benefits than the other subcontractors in the area. Hourly pay is what they say it is, no fuss about hourly attendance bonuses or work off the clock.

      Cons

      Zero benefits. Pay is good for the industry, but the industry sucks. High turnover. No unemployment for the 3 months you're not working in the summer.
