Pros

Base on my experience with Tetra Tech AMT, everyone is wonderful to work with. There are many different personalities and egos, but the co-workers are the only positive thing going on for this company. When things aren't going well, everyone is on the same page and expresses there concerns with each other. Senior managers are extremely nice and intelligent and they are not afraid to talk about their concerns or even express their own opinions about the executives.

Cons

Senior executives needs to have a more open door policy with their subordinates. The culture and environment has become complacent or, what many believe, is now dead...especially after the government shutdown and budget cuts. Every time an employee leaves from overhead, the company decides not to backfill the position. Leaving the rest of overhead forced to collect the scraps!

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.
