Pros

Flexible, different way to earn money! It was entertaining getting to know the diverse population in my area. Excellent team leaders had my back! Awesome mileage reimbursement!

Cons

My region paid substantially lower than most. Following Government policy was frustrating at best. Final crew work was sent out to some potentially frightening locations. More information would have been nice in those situations.

Pros

The pay was great. The hours were flexible - you could be part-time or full-time. Usually you can work very close to your home. My supervisor was very understanding and competent. The job itself was pretty easy.

Cons

More senior levels of management got kind of confused, I think. One minute things were to be done a certain way or were going to be a certain way, then all of a sudden it would change. It got kind of crazy near the end. I have no complaints personally, but I hear sometimes you can be required to work in sketchy areas (they send a partner with you, I think, if that's the case) and I'm sure after a while it gets repetitive. No benefits, and obviously temporary, so if this is an issue this would be more supplementary income.
