      Pros

      A union that has your back every step of your apprenticeship. Benefits that rival most careers, especially in North Carolina.

      Cons

      No paid time off. Pay does not meet the COL. Contractors do not provide necessary tools for roles and responsibilities

      Business outlook

      Pros

      I enjoy working in a new field and learning a new trade. Electrical work and training is in such a necessary and useful field,

      Cons

      Startng off as a pre-apprentice the pay isn't very good, the jobsites are difficult, especially during foul weather, and we get laid off whenever jobsites near finishing status with no warning
