The good:
Pay is good, generally double the crew salary
you get to make your own hours
you get your own room
you get the head of the line at chow
you get to call the shots
The bad:
you are responsible for the entire ship and everyone on board
you get awaken in the middle of the night for navigation or any crisis
there is lots of paperwork
the crew expects you to fix, solve everything
If the ship hits anything, spills oil, gets damaged in any way you are to blame
If someone falls over the side, gets intoxicated or does something stupid you are to blame
You are responsible for motivating people that you didn't hire, often people that speak other languages. You will be responsible for training them to operate your ship efficiently.
You will be responsible for maintaining the ship, (some are old and in disrepair) and getting the job done despite what you are given to work with.
With that being said sometimes it's nice being at the top with the privileges but the burden of command is a lonely one. You will undoubtedly make unpopular decisions from time to time. I have met many folks that prefer to stay a mate or chief mate because they do not want the burden of command or responsibility.
