Pros

Good money, a lot of hours, working on your own, good benefits but it can take years to get a perm position

Cons

Work 6-7 days a week and 10-12 hours a day, no time left for family or friends, supervisors are the worst I've ever seen

Pros

"Living wage" - Better starting pay than most jobs available in the area without specialized professional degrees. Long term potential if made a "Regular" career employee to have better work/life balance, better income, and good benefits.

Cons

Typically only 1 off day a week. Almost every work day is 10-12 hours. No work/life balance. No benefits. Keep your head down, and do as you're told culture.

(RCA) A Dog of a job.

Pros

First off, the pay is really good starting off. Very few places will give you over $16 dollars an hour just starting out with no experience. Also, it's relatively easy to get hired into this job since RCA's are always needed. You will make a LOT of money during the holidays.

Cons

Biggest con is.... RCA's get no benefits. Absolutely nothing.... This job is a paycheck only job. You have to become regular to get any benefits. Making regular takes years and years. Scheduling is out the door with this job. Don't EVER expect to make plans or have any kind of life. The holiday period you will work 6 to 7 days a week. The regulars and other RCA's will call out sick with increased frequency during this time, adding more misery to already stressful time period. Being on call all the time takes it toll. Like I said never make plans on your days off. It's rare I'm not called in. Personally, I would say this job is good experience, but once enough is achieved I would begin to look elsewhere.
