Pros

Flexible working schedule. Business casual attire. Meet interesting people in the field. Now get $.555 per mile for travel expense.

Cons

Pay scale is lower than the industry standard. Westat is incredibly cheap and nickel and dime you at every chance. They require receipts for anything over $1, yes $1. No comunication from Senior Management and supervision is weak to mediocre at best.
