Pros

The pay and benefits are great and you are union protected after the first few months. The company is very upfront about what the job is like before you start and don’t lie to try to get you to stay. They are very safety conscious and many steps are in place to keep you and those around you safe.

Cons

No work life balance, expect to spend almost all of your time at the job. Expect to miss out on a lot of life.
