Pros

Most of the people working there are nice (not that bright), you can bank time (it is not at over time) but you can use it to take days off... which i think every company does...... i have to come up with 20 words and i cant.

Cons

Management lies to keep talent but then will get rid of them once projects are complete. Employees are just a number, there isn't any real connection between senior management and people. Support staff gets treated the worst, the Engineers are their only concern. Pay for support staff is lacking, they will refuse to give pay raises to support staff but will increase an engineers salary by 5%, while support staff barely gets .05%. The atmosphere is dull, they have had a lot of lay offs and they haven't tried to do anything to cheer up the atmosphere.

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.
