Pros

Getting a chance to be around aircrafts all the time (If you are into that)

Cons

* The supervisors do not care if you have a family or life outside of the job. *They will call you in even on your off day *The male supervisors try and sleep with all the female employee drivers and helpers and if they do not get their way, they will make your life a living hell and try and get you fired *It is so dangerous and they do not do enough to protect you *If there is a plane that needs to be catered, they don't care if you haven't eaten all day, they want you out there to meet the flight. *The pay is terrible!!!
