Pros

I learned a lot working at Tetra Tech and was able to enhance my skills. Those in my department were great to work with.

Cons

Middle mgmt makes everything 10 x's more difficult than it has to be and are more interested in pointing fingers and placing blame instead of fixing the problems. They also have the mentality that if they are harsh with the employees they'll get a better work product. Not so. Most of the people in my dept are afraid to talk to one another for fear they'll get in trouble.

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.
