Business Outlook

Pros

- Pay isn't bad. - One day every two weeks might not be terrible. - Insurance even as part-time

Cons

- You will be working to the bone if your office does not have a lot of RCAs. 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week. I had no life outside of work. I would wake up, go to work, get home, eat, shower, and go to bed to repeat it the next day. - They will violate your union contract constantly. You can file all the grievances you want, they will not do anything, since the union hates RCAs.
