Pros

Pay is good for level of work. At the moment it’s a union position so seniority can be a pro or a con depending on service time. Easy to get along with most people. 4 Weeks vacation.

Cons

Basically high school drama between all the leads. Management is incompetent/out of touch with the operation and hire based on favoritism. Outdoors in the hot and the cold.
