Pros

Doing something different every day, good people to work with. Have to use critical thinking skills in some situations. A good safe work environment.

Cons

Not enough spots for new hires on extra board. I believe they need to go to the bid system so new hires are not sitting at home all the time waiting to get called for work. A lot of complainers that need to be thankful for having a job.
