Pros

You get an hour of lunch and theres good food around.

Cons

There's no type of social interactions amongst departments. Everyone seems miserable there. Payroll department is extremely over worked and is constantly having errors. Most people there are new so obviously too many errors. Current supervisor is sneaky and has no idea whats going on and handles her work off to the newer payroll administrators. If she doesnt like you, you'll get treated poorly. Also, you're required to work holidays and cannot say no unless you want to get fired. No room for advancement unless the supervisor gets fired or manager retires. The company as a whole is baby boomers and millennials going at it and creating a toxic environment. Dont work here. If you're interviewing through an agency they literally will hype it up but you be disappointed how cold and awful it is here.

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.
