Pros

Literally nothing at all, predatory, underpaid, overworked, illegal slave-like practices.

Cons

The staff consists almost exclusively of a roster of desperate people trying to get experience, or people from other countries with a lower cost of living. They put unqualified and inexperienced people in higher level positions because nobody wants to work for the pennies they offer, those people get an ego headcase and cause destructive issues across projects and take no responsibility at all. The company seems to be in a perpetual state of either an existing project disaster, or heading towards the next one with fantastic incompetence. The managers take zero accountability for their decisions, actions, or for their company as a whole. They respond to the chaos they create by leaving their undervalued staff rescue every situation without any support. You'll spend most of your time pandering to the managers narcissism and egotism, or suffering their outlandish ignorance. Save yourself the trauma and look elsewhere unless you like being paid essentially minimum wage and trying to navigate absurd obstacles with no help and then get yelled at while trying to do your job. They have been reported to BSEE, NMFS, BOEM, etc. for illegal work practices and I hope in the future they get out of this industry entirely or a massive lawsuit entails.

Pros

Pay and flexibility was good

Cons

Managers are uninterested in growing you -- I had one manager mentor me and he got in trouble for spending so much time doing that -- always pushing you to do more things in less time and if you make mistakes because of that, the managers that are successful will throw you under the bus. When I was let go I wasn't even told properly and they had me waiting on furlough for 2 weeks before it was even official. If I had any performance issues, I had no idea as I was just given more responsibility and my new manager was uninterested in me entirely and within 2 months I was let go. Shameful and I urge anyone I see not to work here

Pros

You meet lots of great people that you build rapport with. The interface of the website needs a bit more work, but overall it’s manageable and organized.

Cons

The pay is BAD. Depending on where you are obviously. But right now the pay is $14 base pay. Overtime is $21. But you have to work a whole week for that to make any worth in this. Supervisors are shady and are lazy sometimes. Most mean the best, but there are others that stay on the side and watch while you struggle. While there are ones that drag their feet when you need assistance. Between the end of the shift to the start of the next shift, the next day, you could be called by 3 different supervisors telling you to go somewhere completely different than where you were the previous day. They have all monitors drive to a meetup spot, and then afterwards will make you drive another 30 minutes to your actual designated site. And that’s annoying when there’s no stipend for gas reimbursement. And when Hurricane Milton just past through here, more than half of our employees couldn’t show up and people couldn’t afford gas to show up, so some had to get rental cars and still overworked and stressed out those that could show up. And they’ll make you do “Activity Logs” at every hour. You cannot clock out of this job until you fill out those logs. Which is basically saying what you did every hour. It’s really not worth the pay to try to balance all that out. Especially when you have to balance the work phone they provide you, which is about 10 years old, and has problems sync more than half the time. There’s no consistency with whether or not you will get trained on certain skills. There should be a minimum training for everyone to be able to cover others. But that goes back to very few people doing multiple people’s jobs. If you happen to catch on to many things quickly you become a rag doll for them. Last thing, becoming a supervisor is a toss up. You could be a supervisor in a week because the turn over rate, or if you are one of the ones that actually works diligently, becoming a supervisor might take years. Also for a company that supervises contractors to make sure they are cleaning up the right things, a lot of things happen to slip through a lot
