Pros
Very rewarding, awesome opportunity to work next to aircraft if you're interested in that sort of thing. You build an amazing sense of comradery with your co-workers and the flexibility with hours is unmatched by any career in the world. If you don't mind a little hard work, you can make 60k (after 10 years) and travel like the other side does all without a college degree. Best job I've ever had.
Cons
Takes 10 years to top out in pay, the possibility of full-time is almost nill, some of the equipment is extremely dated and needs refreshing. It's tough to move up into management from the ramp and a lot of people might look at this as a con, I have no desire to do so myself though but I understand that.
