Pros

This company does some interesting environmental work and can have great learning opportunities. The staff is knowledgeable with many mid-level managers being competent and good to their employees. There's a lot of opportunity for remote and hybrid work creating good work/life balance.

Cons

Each business unit can feel very siloed. There's little opportunity to meet and work with others outside your unit. The operational leaders of the units can act like small company CEO's with very top down management style. There's a lot of pressure on the engineers to be fully utilized leading to few training opportunities, or enrichment activities for the employees. This can cause an unengaged workforce and high turnover. If you're unlucky and get a poorly trained manager you can feel stuck, with little chance to move out of that situation.

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.
