Pros

Westat has good benefits and I believe that it is a good company to work for overall.

Cons

However, if you work offsite, be prepared to kick and scream to get anything. This includes respect. I actually had someone from the home office ask if I knew what a phillips head screwdriver was, or if we had stoplights in our town.
