Decent work/life balance. Dealing with important life safety equipment - keeping people safe is a good feeling.
Svantaggi
The job I interviewed and was hired for and the job I ended up performing seemed to be from two different worlds. It seemed to change every day and every change was for the worse. The atmosphere was really quiet - no one really talks to each other. If you do manage to get someone to talk for more than a minute, usually someone will come by and make a comment about "breaking up the party." The turnover rate also seemed to be very high - also be aware of a policy if you accept the position and you come from a staffing company YOU are required to repay them any staffing fee's (which can range in the $5-8,000 range) if you do not last a year. Whether you quit or get let go. Tread carefully.
