      Pros

      Work schedule is flexible depending on position Nice cafeteria with healthy option Gym for fitness freaks

      Cons

      Favorism is rampant. You will not get the salary you deserve for your work unless you are dancing to the managers tunes, Lots of office politics and talk in the back. Be ready to work double loads as some managers have favorites and their work will be handed over to you and manager's "favorites" spend hours chit-chatting

      Pros

      - Westat is full of intelligent hard-working individuals - It's a good place to develop basic research skills - It has a large campus with a convenient gym and cafeteria - Everyone gets their own office

      Cons

      - Not within walking distance of metro - While it's a good place to develop skills, you will likely end up doing the same thing over again. There is not enough variety of work for lower-level staff. - Colleagues are hit or miss, same as any workplace - Senior management could do a better job of introducing projects to staff and updating them on developments. I never know what half the other people on my teams are doing. - Too many meetings.

      The position requires a lot of persuation and follow-up.

      Pros

      This is a great part-time position that allows you to telecommute and meet great people when working in the field interviewing clients.

      Cons

      I really don't have a downside opinion because of the autonomy the position provides. You are responsible for your own success or failure as a field representative.
