Best thing
Such an interesting fun job all the people you work with are absolutely amazing really nice people pretty much never had a bad day or met a bad person learn a wide range of very good useful skills that can take you far in life and you are wanted by a lot of other companies because of the good reputation GAP have and the unique and quite rare skill set you can develop also get to see all of the construction in your area and how things are made and get to drive really nice vehicles
Worst thing
Pay is low hard to stay afloat in modern times with such a low wage this is just the hire industry tho but this is why a lot of hire companies struggle to keep there highly skilled staff as they can earn much more doing the same job for other people who are not in the hire industry.
