You can get paid, but you'll have no personal life.

Pros

Pay & the ability to rise through the ranks. If you work hard and are dedicated, you can go as far as your talents will take you.

Cons

Time; there is not enough time to work at RAC and have a family also. In my experience, RAC wanted no liability for bending the rules, but it was implicitly encouraged so numbers were achieved. If numbers were achieved, you had no issues with your superiors; but if you missed the numbers, suddenly the rules applied to you and your crew. I always heard an emphasis on training and learning more, but in practice there was none available to the employees.
