Pros

-Easy work, if you can follow simple instructions.

Cons

-Extremely strict and rules/guidelines seemed to change as much as the weather does. -Workplace was hostile, multiple people walked off the job after arguments, including supervisors. -You are required to use your own vehicle and are not reimbursed for mileage, even though their paperwork has miles in/out implying they used to pay it. Most people here are using about $100-150 for gas every week. -They claim it is a drug free work place but almost half of the temps are high all day, received many complaints from contract workers and DOT about it. Not a single drug test to my knowledge. -Very unorganized and under prepared for a wide variety of situations. -Expectation is you work every day for 12 hours, and that is the only way to make money because the base pay is $13/h (OT 19.50/h). This is wildly lower than the reported range of $22-33/h.

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.
