Pros

Feeling of accomplishing something when I succeed in helping a tech get something fixed. Feeling that the techs value my opinion on technical stuff. Not having to do the nasty part of the job, such as climbing in ceilings to work on stuff, nor handling heavy and leaking UPS batteries

Cons

Constant negativity of people reporting broken stuff, and then give you no time to troubleshoot before they start asking the status. People always wanting you to install stuff without any idea of the trouble their request creates or if what they want is even compatible to install.
