Pros

ins. close to home for me, as a machanic on 12 hr. shift i get so days off . i like my days off i have time to rest and time wit my family.

Cons

its a high stress work place, i really hate it for the mechanics on 8hr.shifts , no time for family or rest , everyday is very stressful i know this because i have worked 8hr. shift before. i hope that someone will bring back 12hr. shift so these people will have some time with familys .
