Pros
I enjoyed my time working as a field ops technician for NEON. Our team had a great work ethic, and felt like we were contributing to an important country-wide data set. I was given responsibilities that made me feel necessary and the domain manager always made us feel acknowledged and appreciated. Most of my experience deals with the remote operations of NEON outside of headquarters (where there were many unsatisfied personnel).
Cons
Headquarters frequently had a condescending attitude towards field operations personnel, despite the fact that we were responsible for collecting the data and ensuring quality control. I felt as a field operations employee, we were spared from a lot of the chaos and disgruntled masses that were NEON headquarters work staff since we were working in one of the remote locations. Being thousands of miles away and left to perform our jobs in peace was nice.
