Pros

Lots of opportunities if you look / express interest in other fields or areas. Flexible work location. Job duties are not overwhelming. Good amount of travel. Competitive Pay

Cons

Benefits are mediocre. PTO works against your utilization, so if you take time off you are encouraged to work higher than normal billable hours to account otherwise your utilization takes a hit. Only engineering/tech consulting firm I have heard do this and I think it's ludicrous. It's just their way of discouraging people from taking time off.

Pros

You meet lots of great people that you build rapport with. The interface of the website needs a bit more work, but overall it’s manageable and organized.

Cons

The pay is BAD. Depending on where you are obviously. But right now the pay is $14 base pay. Overtime is $21. But you have to work a whole week for that to make any worth in this. Supervisors are shady and are lazy sometimes. Most mean the best, but there are others that stay on the side and watch while you struggle. While there are ones that drag their feet when you need assistance. Between the end of the shift to the start of the next shift, the next day, you could be called by 3 different supervisors telling you to go somewhere completely different than where you were the previous day. They have all monitors drive to a meetup spot, and then afterwards will make you drive another 30 minutes to your actual designated site. And that’s annoying when there’s no stipend for gas reimbursement. And when Hurricane Milton just past through here, more than half of our employees couldn’t show up and people couldn’t afford gas to show up, so some had to get rental cars and still overworked and stressed out those that could show up. And they’ll make you do “Activity Logs” at every hour. You cannot clock out of this job until you fill out those logs. Which is basically saying what you did every hour. It’s really not worth the pay to try to balance all that out. Especially when you have to balance the work phone they provide you, which is about 10 years old, and has problems sync more than half the time. There’s no consistency with whether or not you will get trained on certain skills. There should be a minimum training for everyone to be able to cover others. But that goes back to very few people doing multiple people’s jobs. If you happen to catch on to many things quickly you become a rag doll for them. Last thing, becoming a supervisor is a toss up. You could be a supervisor in a week because the turn over rate, or if you are one of the ones that actually works diligently, becoming a supervisor might take years. Also for a company that supervises contractors to make sure they are cleaning up the right things, a lot of things happen to slip through a lot
