Pros

Great pay & benefits. Not necessarily a very strenuous job physically.

Cons

Horrible way of life until your 15 years in. You’ll pretty much be on call and subject to living in hotels more than your own home. For someone who loves family time and having a real schedule , it can be rough mentally
