    Can anyone that has done this job please let me know pros and cons from personal experiences.  
     
    Thinking about applying but wanted to hear from workers that have done this before.  
     
    Thanks in advance!!

    It may look easy but it’s not. It’s 10-12+ hours a day standing in extreme weather conditions such as +40, walking, long periods of time on your feet etc. You have to prepare yourself for that, it’s also seasonal and not a steady source of income when seasons change, weather disrupts etc. Also requires lots of travel.

    It's not very good if you have a family/children as you are gone for a long time. But would be great for a single person looking to make some cash.

    I am a single mom and I did it for a few weeks the pay is great, the hours are long, but the work is sporadic. I needed something a bit more reliable and stable.

    I did it years ago and hated every second of it.  
     
    It's hot, boring, and dangerous. I had to jump out of the way of cars from time to time.  
     
    I was paid well but I would not do it again.

    Some of the supervisors won't let you go to the bathroom. They resent you asking for your 15 minute break even to go to the bathroom. They really rather let you work continuously: pee in your pants. I'd look for other jobs.
