Pros

There are opportunities to become exposed to a huge variety of projects and clients, and you will face unique challenges along the way. The job can be demanding and stressful but at the end of the day it feels rewarding. The management at a local level is phenomenal and the office atmosphere is superb. It really is a great bunch of peers to have.

Cons

Vacation/sick days/holiday policy leaves something to be desired. Sometimes the work load is too high and stress levels can become overbearing. Burnout is a real danger until coping and stress management strategies are learned. Time reporting and utilization benchmarks are a near constant stress. Pay seems low and raises/promotions can take a long time to acquire.

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.
