Pros

Flexible hours allow you to take care of personal matters without taking vacation time to do it. Co-workers are motivated and fun to work with. No cubicles -- everyone has their own office. Challenging work.

Cons

Salaries are a little lower than the industry average. Very little variety in work assignments, you end up doing the same thing every day. No management support for professional development or career advancement. Anything you do to advance your knowledge or skills must be done on your own time at your own expense. Expected to work excessive (80+ hours a week) overtime for extended periods (more than 2 years). Management is quick to criticize work, but refuses to acknowledge outstanding performance even when clients send commendations. Office leadership has no vision and is afraid to pursue opportunities in new industries.

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.
