Pros

I'm working on one of my favorites projects that I've ever been on at any company. The people in my field office are easy to work with and there is a solid sense of teamwork and camaraderie.

Cons

I've yet to meet or interact with anyone from the corporate office. Outside of generic company emails, I have no attachment to the corporate mothership at all. This makes it hard to imagine advancing very far for anyone in the field. Low ceiling. The benefits are subpar compared to other companies I've worked for. PTO is lumped together. You start with 5 sick days and 10 vacation days regardless of what level you start at (lumped together as 15 PTO days). There are very few paid holidays. We don't even get Christmas Eve off. Health benefits are middle of the road at best. Work from home policy is unclear. Seems to be acceptable occasionally. There are also no bonuses unless you're upper management.

Pros

Travel to places you don't know they exist

Cons

1. Short notice to report to a field office (often within 24 hours) with little to no idea of what to expect, where you will be working, where you will stay, or how long your deployment will last. Work allocation is entirely management-driven, meaning you can sit without any assignments for months or even a year. 2. Unfair Quality Control: Quality control (QC) inspectors often create unnecessary friction. Reviews and corrections are frequently based on subjective bias or a complete lack of knowledge—such as out-of-state QC inspectors overriding local inspectors who actually understand the regional context and situation. 3. Deeply Inequitable Work Distribution: The process for assigning work lacks fairness. It is not uncommon to be released and sent home just a week after starting before you're getting up to speed—while new cohorts of inspectors continue to arrive for training. Internal Work Competition: QC inspectors who have been in the field for months are competing for active assignments when the workflow slows down.
