Pros

I can't think of a single pro. It was nice to have experience in a unionized setting on my resume.

Cons

Long hours, management at my terminal didn't support eachother, the terminal manager was overworked and a dick , poor wages, difficult to get time off, and you're stuck dealing with whiny Teamster's that have poor work ethics.
