Vantaggi
14 days on 14 days off working from 12.5hrs a day and swapping between day and night shift every hitch. $35 a day perdiem + $25 a day when working in OBM. Make about $2.7k every two weeks after taxes, so 5.4k per hitch. Gross salary around 84k a year. Very safety conscious company with good equipment and most coworkers were good people to be around. More experienced coworkers were willing to teach and help out as long as I was willing to learn.
Svantaggi
Some leadership personnel were very irritable and hard to get along with, but that's really at every job and company. There's always going to be people that you'd rather try to shove a wet noodle up a bobcats butt in a telephone booth than have to deal with, but it's best to just try to be easy to get along with and go with the flow than to stoop down to negative Nancy's level and put the whole crew in a bad mood.
