Pros

You get to make your own hours as a part time/per diem worker. They are very intentional about timing, such as meetings. You get support from your director and mentor and the entire team. They are understanding that you have a life outside of your job. Paid travel and training.

Cons

Inconsistent hours Per-diem means you have dry spells of no work Training is very independent and weird. You watch videos and study the slides to get "certified". The way you submit hours work is very awkward, through an excel spreadsheet. Not sure when a raise in daily consulting fees are allotted.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
