Pros

You travel all across the US on the NHANES study and I believe in that study! The added benefits are the per diem, car, gas and bonuses when you interview someone.

Cons

Immediate supervisors are under pressure to make numbers and of course that passes on to the employee. Employees are expected to be available 24/7 and to work overtime hours without being paid for them. Constant life on the road is very stressful and difficult.
