Pros

If you need to make some money quick this is the only viable option, and beleive me they know that also ..KBR stands for Kan Be Replaced..

Cons

On a scale of 1 to 20 of things you have to worry about in a warzone in Iraq, bullets and mortars are like number 18 on the list. THE PEOPLE you work with are your number 1 threat, everybody will eventually get fired for something, you may pass up promotions just because you are unaware of the co-workers waiting for you at another job site.Over the years I have seen the most honarable people get fired for most ridiculous accusations and in turn have the worst ,have a extended tenure. Its all about who you know , If you have any post secondary education or a skill set that makes you valuable anywhere else I highly recommend you do not put yourself through the KBR experience.

Pros

Working overseas for long periods of time (over 330 days in year) can be benifitual for not having to pay taxes to the IRS and state goverment. R & R every 4 months.

Cons

overseas its 12 hours a day 7 days a week nonstop and in a war zone. It is very difficult for people that have families back in the U.S. not having the freedom to come and go as you please on your days off.
