As always the truth is in the middle.
The work is hard, you spend a lot of time positioning and the money is on the low side, but there are worse places for a summercontract. I wouldn't call it commutable, you will spend a lot of money in tickets for a couple of days at home and it will increase fatigue at lot. The flying is nice and so are the crews. Equipent is in good shape and the occasional trip to Marocco is a welcome change.
To come back to the original question: If you are unable to fly within 300 ft of an assigned altitude and within 10 kts of an asinged speed or if you can't draw a basic version of the electric or hydraulic system, then YES it is a waste of money and time to go to the selection.
