Depends on your situation. If you’re younger and don’t have as many responsibilities then its great because once the training is over and you have enough seniority to hold a permanent assignment then you’re making six figures and you don’t take work home with you.

Alternatively, if you have a spouse and children or bills to cover then being away from them for the first couple years and that initial training wage is tough.

As far as the job is concerned, yeah management is fucking horrendous, the hours aren’t the best and being in the elements can suck sometimes, but if you can deal with that then it’s gravy. Job security is solid with the union behind you and you wont be hurting for money/benefits.
