Pros
Getting to work alone and not having any specific time to be at work are the best things about this job.
Cons
First off, if you are part time, forget about ever getting a pay increase. I asked my supervisor about getting a raise and was informed that she had "no control over raises". So I asked who do I speak to about it and was ignored. From reading posts on their community forum and speaking with other employees, I've not heard of anybody ever receiving a raise. Next, the workload can vary quite a bit. Some weeks I have 5-6 hours, other weeks I am hard pressed to finish in 3 full days . The handheld to collect data isn't too bad hardware wise, but the software is awful. Project instructions range from poor to barely adequate. If you happen to do a project that gets cancelled while you are out doing it, expect your payroll time for that project to disappear. If you don't notice it, you won't get paid for it, and if you do, expect to jump through hoops to get it straightened out. Other issues - travel and mileage compensation is atrocious, the website to schedule work is terrible and has problems on a regular basis, and field support can be hit or miss.
