Pros

Monotonous, not difficult labor Easy to understand processes PLENTY of overtime opportunity

Cons

Management expects you to work involuntary overtime while not working overtime themselves. Management consists of prior technicians that have no previous management experience. Site is constantly trying to do more with less. When something goes wrong, difficult to find a manager and when you do they can't solve the problem themselves half the time. Remote location. Management focuses on small menial aspects of job rather than wellbeing of employees. No real prospect of promotion. Management puts responsibility of senior/lead positions on lower positions without pay raise
