Pros

- There's definitely no shortage of work to do - Work is usually interesting - Plenty of opportunities to showcase your skill and make a name for yourself

Cons

- High workload sometimes means there isn't much room for support from colleagues - Being dispensable in the evenings and over the weekends is the expectation - Work never stops coming which can be tough if you're not the type that can be on all the time
