Pros

Most of the people who work at Tetra Tech are great people to work with. Good training for project managers, interesting projects to work on.

Cons

Leadership & workplace philosophy are not consistent from one location to another. You can go to one location where people can telecommute, set their own hours, or where people move around all day to talk with coworkers about projects, and at the next location, everyone is expected to be at their workstations in their seats from 8-5. Management is not consistent on how they treat and review their employees. Communication between groups could be better. Some groups compete against each other for the same work instead of sharing the work.

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.
