Good Part-Time Position

Pros

You get to make your own hours as a part time/per diem worker. They are very intentional about timing, such as meetings. You get support from your director and mentor and the entire team. They are understanding that you have a life outside of your job. Paid travel and training.

Cons

Inconsistent hours Per-diem means you have dry spells of no work Training is very independent and weird. You watch videos and study the slides to get "certified". The way you submit hours work is very awkward, through an excel spreadsheet. Not sure when a raise in daily consulting fees are allotted.

Pros

Staff is wonderful, lots of creative and talented people who put their whole heart into their work. Unlimited sick days is amazing for mental health, and their general PTO is also decent.

Cons

You can be suddenly shifted to a new project at any time, with very little warning. The deadlines for those projects can also be extreme, so be prepared for lots of crying in your open-office cubicle (or at your at-home desk, I moved several states away just to be able to work from home permanently after COVID showed me how much better it is to not have open office). There are also plenty of upper management people who are unpleasant if not downright abusive. Given that, there's not much room in my mind for career advancement, because anything above my current position would put me into greater contact with said upper management. Also, they'll never give you a raise or promote you unless you threaten to leave.
