Pros
Airline miles, Hotel Points. Can't think of anything else.
Cons
VERY LOW Pay. No home life. LONG hours. Very low per diem. Cheap Motels, No room for advancement. Horrible corporate office. Customer Service Coordinators are clueless. Here is a week in the life of an OHS: You fly out from your home to Somewhere in the US. Let's just say Atlanta. You think, "Wow, I'm going to Atlanta for the week" NO you're not. You are going somewhere else in Georgia. Atlanta just happens to be the Airport you will be flying to in order to pick the Unit you will be working on. You will drive to some small town with the one factory that hires every one within a 50-mile radius of it. The only place that you will be able to get something to eat, maybe a McDonalds (we know they are everywhere). The only motel/hotel that will be there is a Super 8 or a hotel that you can't afford because the per diem that the company is paying is approximately $75 a night for the State of Georgia. So if you plan on staying in a decent hotel, you will have to supplement the per diem rate with your hard earned pay. It is now Monday, and you have to be at the work site an hour before test time. So you leave your hotel at 3 AM to be at the test site at 3:30 AM to start testing at 4:30 AM and you will be spending all day testing with hopefully an hour break for lunch. You will end at 2:30 PM break down the Unit and head back to your hotel. The next day, hopefully, you will be on the same schedule. But you probably won't because you will have to test the Company's night shift and that will probably be from 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM. You will finish out the rest of the week doing the same thing. On Friday you will pack up from testing all day and drive however long it will take you back to Atlanta Airport to fly home. You will most likely land at your home airport around 11 PM. Get home just in time to take a shower and just pass out. You will get Saturday to do laundry, get a haircut, spend time with family and run whatever errands you can. Sunday you will fly out again to God knows where. This wouldn't be an issue if you were being paid a decent salary. But at $14 an hour, you really question, yourself by saying, "Why am I doing this?" You will gain at least 20 pounds in your first year and it will continue to grow yearly. Again, this job would be fine if you were getting paid a decent wage but the Company doesn't seem to care much about their employees. RUN AWAY AND KEEP RUNNING!
