Business outlook
Pros
When paid hourly, you can make decent $ because most weeks will be more than 50 hours and sometimes up to 80 hours. First class paid travel; you keep points. Per diem $.
Cons
Below average base salary. You can make a decent engineer's paycheck, but you have to work a lot of overtime to get it. Too intrusive on personal life including: - Regularly work on Holidays and Weekends - 60-70% travel - Periodic 24 hour on-call duty As an electrical controls engineer, I got stuck with a lot of customer service calls because ACS did not have a customer service department, and the customers are most often not qualified or skilled to trouble-shoot equipment.
