Pros

You're pretty much guaranteed 40/hrs a week or more

Cons

All of the equipment they give you is broken or missing and they then expect you to do the job as if you had functioning equipment, which leads to them telling you to falsify data in order to get the job "done". They illegally dump toxic leachate because "no one is looking" and don't really care about safety in the field or during travel. The managers love to pass blame and talk about others behind their backs like they are 14 years old. Pay is below average and typical commute was 100 miles/day.

Pros

Hired as a "fire-hire," the position is disaster based and 100% travel so you get to travel domestically paid for by the company. When working, pay is good, you can make a lot very quickly with overtime. Being part-time, I can take time-off whenever I want for as long as I want.

Cons

For my position, no natural disasters = no work. Living out of a hotel for months SUCKs and burn-out is real as you could be working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day for months on end. There's no added compensation for taking on an on-site lead position even though the workload triples. As a part-time employee, you have to pay more for benefits when working versus not working. There's a huge disconnect between part-time employees in the field and the full-time employees that do office work and upper management. Part-time workers are not prioritized unless they're willing to do whatever is thrown at them without complaints. The employee turn-over rate in the field is crazy.
