Pros

None to speak of really.

Cons

Too many to list. On call all the time with no idea when you'll go to work. Can't take any time off or they fire you. To take what little PTO they have, they make you submit doctor visit documentation within 48 hours or you're fired. Constant harassment is through the roof. Pay sucks after taxes, retirement taxes, union dues and health care premiums. No matching 401k.
