Pros

some great coworkers, lots of diversity.

Cons

SR mgmt really does not care for about boots on the ground, its a chair... they use you, and expect you to wash out.... be replaced with a new batch of employees. whatever salary they offer you is where you will STAY. absolutely go out of their way to not increase your pay annually while instead increasing your workloads. office is terrible, yet the SR MGMT office is extremely nice (different location really fosters connectivity)

Pros

Steady work if you are lucky enough to get picked up n a full time assignment. All travel and lodging paid for (some aspects of travel require you to pay and then submit for reimbursement) . Ability to work in numerous foreign countries.

Cons

Pay is below what other companies offer. Example: Medics assigned in Iraq to work in the community in an ambulance get $330 per day. There is no military or reliable security support. The only security is locally hired Iraqis in their early 20's who wold rather throw down their weapons then face a confrontation.. Management was asked about increase in pay and the response was " If you don't like it, we have South African medics who will be glad to take your position" Travel will be ticketed with the cheapest class fare with no ability to upgrade. Minimal support from upper management. You are responsible for paying your own income taxes. ISOS will not issue you a tax letter stating how much tax they pay the country you are working in. This means you are 100% responsible for all income taxes.

Pros

Lot of work available, salary was very competative, some great people, with great ideas work for company.

Cons

Management needs to be permanent not transgressive. Project not completely figured out with most crucial parts in place.
