Pros
Lots of hours. My health insurance was like 24$ every 2 weeks. Got it the first day. Discounts off phone service,cars, there was more I don't remember tho. Christmas they have us gift cards. Also a 2% raise every year. They'd give you a 100$ boot voucher and pay for 2 FRs every year. If you needed special equipment to get on site they would pay for that too. Also a guy that worked there destroyed a truck by never getting it a oil change. It had 80k miles on it with factory oil. It was totaled and he didn't get fired. Maybe they just liked him but others had their truck dented. Grill ripped off. They were never fired. Also a guy pop positive for weed and the company just made him do AA meetings to keep his job. Never seen that before ever. I guess that's a positive thing.
Cons
I worked 6 months straight no day off. Had a 72 hour shift where I didn't leave the job site. Started to have sleep paralysis from lack of sleep. Wasn't fun. Some days there would be less then 5 hours between shifts. Get home at 1am have to be at work at 6am. Fell asleep driving and went into a snow bank. Luckily everything was fine I continued to work. They eventually let us have nap breaks. We could have 3 a day 20 mins each. I'd have never asked my party chief to be able to do this. He would have just made my life hell. They promote people with less experience then you. The people around me with less experience got more pay. At least the office I worked in. If you want to advance drink and go to the strip clubs with them. If you don't you'll probably never get promoted. I had to teach my party chief how to weld map, how to probe for pipe. One didn't even know how to get stations. I wasn't promoted the whole 4 years there. I saw people with less then a year experience become my party chief not knowing anything.
