Pros

Our company has recently been merged with Tetra Tech as a Canadian affiliate. Even though we are by structure on TT's payroll, the management policy and philosophy are pretty independent of each affiliate under the TT umbrella, only with some TT touch added to it. As long as our company's policy does not contravene with that of TT, it is pretty well status quo for all job descriptions, titles and salary. Benefits have been upgraded to align with the TT organization across the board.

Cons

The merger may have left some uncertain taste to some of the old-timers as their legacy of loyalty is now somewhat diminished in the overall picture of TT. Some high performance contractors/consultants were able to receive bonuses before, but no anymore as TT only offers these perks to employees only.

Pros

Hired as a "fire-hire," the position is disaster based and 100% travel so you get to travel domestically paid for by the company. When working, pay is good, you can make a lot very quickly with overtime. Being part-time, I can take time-off whenever I want for as long as I want.

Cons

For my position, no natural disasters = no work. Living out of a hotel for months SUCKs and burn-out is real as you could be working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day for months on end. There's no added compensation for taking on an on-site lead position even though the workload triples. As a part-time employee, you have to pay more for benefits when working versus not working. There's a huge disconnect between part-time employees in the field and the full-time employees that do office work and upper management. Part-time workers are not prioritized unless they're willing to do whatever is thrown at them without complaints. The employee turn-over rate in the field is crazy.
