Pros

This is a large company so you have access to all the resources and prestige of the company when you are selling work in the industry. Despite being a large company each office and division seems like a small company, because ultimately it is run like a small company. The people are genuinely nice and you can have a flexible schedule.

Cons

This company doesn't focus on organic growth and does not care about fostering growth for their employees or operating units, they make money by acquisition. The operating units operate completely independently from each other and subsequently it's all about you. Your office, your operating unit, your boss will provide no business plan or support. If you can create your own business leads internally/externally then you will be fine. However expect people to insular and not share work with you when you send work their way.

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.
