      Pros

      started at 12.50, went up to 17.51 on my third year. (location varies) able to bring your children to work, extra work can be fun, and make good money. Your off when your kids are off of school. (snow days, vacations, ext)

      Cons

      On and off the clock all day, makes for a long day, but between the commute, your only getting paid min 2-4 hours a day, if extra work isn't available, or canceled due to weather Takes years to acquire seniority, and a comfortable pay rate. Moved out of state panning to transfer, was a 30min to hour commute, and a $2 pay cut,, not to mention didn't accommodate my son's school district.
