Pros

Coworkers were nice, competent, and very pleasant to work with. Medical/vision/dental is fairly decent.

Cons

Salaries are below market. The politics are unbearable and may cause you to lose your job through no fault of your own. There is no communication in the entire company, you may be lied to, prepare to fight for your severance if you get laid off, which you will, it's only a matter of time. If you're salaried and work is slow, you may be changed to hourly status so the company saves a few bucks. No worries, you'll be back on salary the moment they need you to work over 40 hours. Don't expect much time off, you'll have to use it to get a halfway decent paycheck once you're on hourly, so expect to take your vacations unpaid. There will not be a direction for your business unit, no goal, nothing other than an expected 20% growth year over year, at any cost, even if it means bidding against another business unit...

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.
