Pros

$16 an hour for secure site access control. Money is decent considering the amount of effort is minimum. I just sat at a kiosk all day and checked employees and sometimes cargo into the site. It was just a contract, so if it works for you then it's a decent experience.

Cons

One kiosk had climate control, the other one didn't, so sometimes shifts were uncomfortable. Also, you're not allowed to have any entertainment (aka distractions), so expect to be bored out of your mind.
