- Crew leads and technicians are very knowledgeable; they give great advice and teach you how to use equipment well
- You gain lots of experience using a variety of tools and equipment depending on the job which can be transferable skills for other jobs
- Starting pay and benefits were excellent
- Depending on the supervisor, you might have the opportunity to work for another department for a day or two to see what they do and to give you more experience
Cons
- Some of the equipment is run down and isn't replaced because it still technically "works"; however it can get frustrating if something won't start and then you're not able to complete a task on-time
