Pros

Unit is traveler friendly for the most part. Really enjoyed my coworkers.

Cons

Lots of floating to other units(no rotating with permanent staff). Unsure that I would’ve had fair scheduling or flexibility had I not called out some things early on. Had trouble finding affordable housing in the area.
