Pros
Autonomy. They love it when you apply yourself. Pay and benefits are ok. Managers are good. Pretty much satisfied. Butt.....
Cons
As in every employment there are over performers and under performers. If you are a slacker you will probably find a safe happy corner to do the minimum and collect a paycheck. If you are a worker you will pick up the slack and do more than your share. You will like it and so will everyone else including management. This will ultimately lead to burnout or worse trying to do too much and then be seen as failing when you can not get your work load plus done. Eventually you may even be cited for failure not because you are a failure but because you are spending too much time doing little tasks that are constantly left undone until you come in. Dirty filters/strainers, plant cleanliness, leaks, messed up paperwork parameters out of accpetable range/norm. Pretty much expect to come back after your days off and take over a plant that has had minimal effort to keep it running. Tune it back out . Fix clean adjust. I can't win. The harder I work the less everyone else does.
