Pros

Great pay. Decent health coverage

Cons

24/7 on call Managements tactics Hard to plan anything. You get 3 days a month you can take off. But only if you earn them. Any time you book off sick or unfit you put your employment at risk. Management plays favourites

Pros

I haven't seen any. Union takes $200 a month, doesn't do anything for you. Gross over $3k and clear $1.8k....... Seems logical.

Cons

Don't expect big money. Huge responsibility but not in pay. Management is out to get you. They want you to fail. Safety is non-existent. Never met a safety officer or someone who was in the position. Tons of lip service. Don't expect overtime. If you're on the spareboard, don't expect a life, you're on call 24/7. $250 for a yard job, no OT. A turn $300 to $500 depending on the situation. But that's only 2 to 3 times a week. Management has a quota on fails. Completely stuck in 1883 with their safety culture. Not behaviour based. More punitive
