Vantaggi
Lots of colleagues are early 20s, feels colloquial. Good way to see behind the scenes of gov't and courthouses.
Svantaggi
Underpaid, and you are not compensated for your commute time to job sites, which you spend a lot of time doing. Unable to plan out your week because the schedule is so variable. It can feel very lonely since it is mostly solo work and you can go weeks without being in the office. Management is trying to modernize the company and get ahead of the curve and often ends up misdirecting their priorities. No upward mobility even though they portray it as though there is. Doing well on something means they give you more work or "harder" assignments but pay you the same. Focused on hiring additional higher level managers rather than paying their more junior staff fairly.
