The function is increasing on \( (-\infty, -3) \) and \( (3, \infty) \), decreasing on \( (-3, 3) \), has a local maximum at \( f(-3) = 59 \), and a local minimum at \( f(3) = -49 \).
\[
\boxed{
\text{Increasing: } (-\infty, -3) \text{ and } (3, \infty) \\
\text{Decreasing: } (-3, 3) \\
\text{Local Maximum: } f(-3) = 59 \\
\text{Local Minimum: } f(3) = -49
}
