Pros

Great to develop your career. Learning and promotions are available to people that want to grow.

Cons

Visp site is far from big cities. Hard to have social life if you work shifts. Shift work changes every 3-4 days. People don’t stay too long, usually they quit after 2-3 years, it’s hard to have someone that worked over 5 years in your team.

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.
