Pros

Good pay, good retirement, decent health insurance. Being outdoors instead of a factory environment. Work with different people everytime.

Cons

No life, can't make any plans and hope to keep them, very hard on your family and your health. Payroll steal from you and you have to watch your check like a hawk and fight for every nickel.
