Pros

Decent work/life balance Comparable industry salary Interesting work and exposure to various clients both public and private Growing company with decent backlog if with the right operating unit

Cons

Pipe line management in the operating units, if you are not kissing something then no advancement Lots of promises for advancement but limited opportunities Lack of interest by management unless it makes them shine Claims customer satisfaction but at the expense of the employees Management quick to push down failure to lower level staff Incredibly high insurance rates and low company contributions

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.
