      Pros

      Fairly relaxed work environment, you get to learn a lot about tools and have the ability to talk to customers if you like doing that, paid time off is good and benefits are good

      Cons

      Base pay is low, especially for the members of the truck who have to work overnights there is no overnight percentage bump.
