Pros

You will make good money but only after several years of seniority, usually around 5 to 7 years.

Cons

No days off. On call 24/7/365 days a year. Will have to travel up to 5 hours to another terminal and wait to go to work. Will most likely be sleeping in your car. You will get furloughed often. This is just some of the negatives. Just go to work there and you'll find out more.

Pros

Used to be decent pay. They have lagged behind other industries for years. Insurance is no longer what it used to be.

Cons

Zero work life balance. No support from Senior leadership. Tries to implement Toyota Lean in an outdoor environment with uncontrollable variables.
