Pros: It doesn't matter if it's Monday or if it's Friday; a common theme at my job is that the day flies by.
I often hear people say, "Where did the time go?" because honestly, the work is so engaging and enjoyable.
We are truly blessed to both do what we love and get paid well for it.
Cons: Some teams have an on-call rotation where you have to be ready all week to fight major fires that go off. This wasn't exactly communicated to us when we took the job, but be prepared to need to carry your laptop with you everywhere for some weeks.
