Pros

My co-workers were all very friendly and management was largely responsive and supportive of employee needs. My workload was primarily statistical analyses of energy efficiency projects, which fit my career interests at the time. They take statistical analysis very seriously and strive to be objective even as a for-profit company. There was also a discounted stock-buying benefit that was pretty generous if you could afford to buy into it.

Cons

There wasn't much effort made to unify standards between projects over time, so projects were often a mix of code languages or varied widely depending on the previous project lead or how long a project had been running. The PTO and retirement benefits are both pretty bad, and the salary wasn't high enough to make up for that. Career progression options were also somewhat narrow and geared toward sales/business acquisition.

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.
