Pros

If you are the primary day shift observer, you become the lead/boss. You get compensated besides working a regular shift.

Cons

Shift schedules and pay system. If you are scheduled to work on a holiday but did not work the previous week, you don't get holiday pay like the people who work the whole previous week.
