Pros

You get a pay check

Cons

Your pay is subject to change based on other bids for your post, as in it can be lowered without warning. You are subject to multiple phone calls from managers that aren't yours asking you to cover locations that you are not assigned to regardless of your assigned posts needs. I once worked a 21 hour day due to this. This job is not for the feint of heart.
