Pros

Easy. If you find a spot that works for you, you can get really comfortable. My site has been peaceful 99% of the time. There's always new opportunities showing up if you need a change.

Cons

You could get stuck with less desirable positions or schedules. Dealing with management can be a bad experience. It took weeks between my original interview and training before I could pick up my uniform and actually start working on site.

Pros

there is nothing good to say

Cons

I was offered a position and hired, and went through a month long process of doing every single step to be proactive in working this position. I submitted my fingerprints did my background check sat through 16 hours of online training that was unpaid staring at a computer for eight hours straight at a time with only a 30 minute break. Then I went in for the new employee orientation, where I sat there for another four hours and completed every single on boarding step received my badge got a uniform only to be told after those four hours that the position I was hired for is no longer available this company is the most unprofessional uncommunicative company I have ever had the displeasure of potentially working for had someone communicate communicated to me throughout that whole month that the position that I was hired for is no longer available I would’ve found employment elsewhere, but they decided to dig me around for over a month.
