Yes, pilots are included in "those whose job involves reading these all the time". Every flight begins with a weather briefing, which includes NOTAMs near the route of flight.
Generally pilots will start with a graphical overview, and dive into the details of a TFR if the flight path intersects. If you're navigating safely around it, it can mostly be ignored.
