Pros

Job completion bonuses are nice, if you are eligible to receive them. Average benefits with 6% matching 401K (good luck making it to fully vested status). Experience is always good, if you want to stay in this industry after layoffs.

Cons

Everybody is just a number. Working 80-110 hour work weeks is exhausting. They are 12 hour rotating shifts in the field, not including the 4 hours driving round trip to get to that site. You will more than likely be laid off before you are considered fully vested.
