Pros
- Decent pay while on the job - Experience working with different kinds of tools - Getting to travel and see new places
Cons
- On call 24/7 - Cannot travel more than like 25 minutes from pick up site, so can't really go anywhere - After driving for hours (as much as 18 hours), you are still expected to be able to work - They make you work hours at a time. I once had to work a 36 hour cleaning job, and then I was still expected to drive the 4 hours back to pick up location and do the cleanup of the van. - A lot of manual labor, and some places don't have elevators. You will work in all kinds of temperatures, and some of these places smell. - If you have a prior commitment, even if approved for time off, expect hassle if you are out on a job. Expect a hostile work environment afterward. Your supervisor controls your hours. If he doesn't like you, he will not call you for work. - This job is feast or famine. You could be home for weeks because there is no work, or gone for weeks. You cannot plan anything though, because (again) you are on call 24/7.
