Pros

Two people that I met that I was not even working with.

Cons

I was lied to many times by upper management, from my interview to the day I left. Management is so top heavy, you may be asked to do the work of 5+ people and have more than 5 managers checking in with you to see your progress. They will send people in from out of state to check if you need help, but you won't receive help. You will not receive time off. You will barely receive bereavement time. You will use your very limited paid time off for every holiday you ever hope to enjoy unless you live in a country where your government mandates it. I received little to no support at this company and I am ashamed to have associated with them. They may do impressive work in some fields but I am ashamed to have worked for a company that cared so little.

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.
