Pros

Only pro is the benefits but don’t expect to have them for a long time, employees are disposable

Cons

Management is corrupt. HR protects favored project managers that have hundreds of HR complaints for anything you can possibly think of. They would rather get rid of those of complain than get rid of the unethical management team. They will withhold your raise but give management bonuses. There is clear favoritism, all the way up to upper management. There is zero protection for their employees including their full time employees. This company makes sure for you to know that you are just another tool for them and will dup you without notice once they are done with you. They do not care if you are one of their best employees, they only keep those who have within their inner circle and they go without punishment no matter what they do.

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.
