Pros

Pay and Benefits are great. Once you build up some senority(4-5 years) you are looking at 80k+

Cons

Being on call 24/7 leaves little free time. Employees are furloughed often.

No experience needed, decent pay. Some ok people.

Starting low seniority will have you moved all around the state potentially. Managers actively try to get you fired in some cases.
