Pros

-used to be EBA, had a great reputation in the industry and excellent family friendly feel (work/life balance; understanding of family emergency; etc) -currently has management that is quite understanding of personal emergency (provided clear communication & updates) -encourages professional development (internal/online training), particularly in down time -encourages internal research & development projects (eligible for tax deduction)

Cons

-since transitioning entirely to Tt there has a been a significant change in the office dynamic; many people let go & rehired on contract; a real sense that the people here are now just numbers to the greater (American) corporation -no raises; bonuses; encouragement from greater corporate - this has lead to an exodus of many intermediate and senior people (in addition to those laid off) and an over arching feeling of dread in the office

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.
