Pros
The good things are the roster, when you get established as a dispatcher you can be put on a 4 on 4 off pattern which is only working half of the year, also take 4 days holiday from your 35 allocation and you get 8 days off - DOUBLE your time. In the summer and busy months you can write your own pay cheque with overtime - which is plentiful March-September and drys completely throughout winter.
Cons
The biggest challenge is working with the top heavy management. Holidays that never get approved and an ever ending increasing management table and ever shrinking workforce on the ground. Too many cheifs and never enough indians on the shop floor.
