Pros

Great rewarding job, you get to protect the planet! You can convert to permanent after you have about 4 to 5 seasons completed! If you have a degree you can convert to permanent faster! Lots of opportunity for promotions to a higher pay grade if your willing to move around.

Cons

Dealing with bureaucrats slows down project work from being completed. Communication from supervisors is not the best.
