Pros

Very challenging mentally and physically. A lot of time outdoors and a lot of pressure to spend the company's money with complete accuracy.

Cons

Winter months or hot summers can be as challenging as the really bad stinky cars.

Pros

Fun, relaxed, informal work environment. Team builders and company events are good for employee moral.

Cons

Numbers. A very number centered industry, but the numbers mean more to the managers than the people do. Not afraid of turnover.
