Pros

6+ hours of break on 12 hour shifts. minimal supervision from leadership. If you have good coworkers, it can be fun.

Cons

Extremely political i.e. if your supervisor doesn't like you for any reason you won't see any kind of progression and it works the opposite way. Communication can be very poor. The kind of leadership you get can vary immensely due to standards not being present nor leaders such as supervisors not being held accountable. As a contractor, pay is pretty low compared to the industry standard.
