Pros

Roughly know what the next week will look like the week before. Jobs can take long or short and your hourly job ends when the days jobs are done. Culture is safety and the managers take it seriously and will listen to you if you push back. Nice benefits and PTO. OT is offered and done even for salary guys. Upper management cares. Horizontal movement is easy. Job relocating in a different city is easy.

Cons

Can be off site and in a different state for multiple days or just one day, you do not know until the morning of. Jobs can be short due to managers not locating utilities. Jobs an be long due to conditions. Hours can fluctuate between 20 and 60 hours a week, 4 hours in a day to 14 hours. Jobs can and will be dangerous though. PM's and workaholics are looking out for their own skin. Trying to move up is difficult and trying to learn higher levels of modules in their education system is rejected. Work is work and complaints are usually answered with shrugs and deal with it.
