The hours are long. 72-84 hour weeks, the job can last from 1 week to 3 years....you just never know. There is TONS of nepotism. You could be the wife of a crane operator, with no experience, and they'd bring you in as a supervisor over people that have had experience or more qualified. No paid holidays. No double time or triple time. Just your base pay and time and a half. If you start as a laborer it is extremely hard to leave unless you know someone, sleep with someone, or are related to someone.
