Pros

When routes hit, you make very good money compared to a lot of other professions. Flexibility with work schedules (though from May to early September you have to work Saturdays if needed)

Cons

Equipment is old and faulty. Miscommunications happen a lot. Some routes require a wide range of ground to be covered.
