Pros

1. Financial Institution Examiner's tend to have a lot of travel some may like it some may not but they are up front about it. 2. Higher top out salary compared to other auditing classifications 3. Good work life balance, lots of telework to offset the travel nights. 4. Management is very understanding and helpful lots of years experience . Year long training program to ensure examiner success. Quarterly reviews and annual reviews to make sure both parties are aware of their expectations. 5. Department provides examiner's with top of the line tools to get the jobs done. High end laptops and cell phones are provided as the job is mostly mobile. Other state department the audit shops are given scraps.

Cons

1. Travel, many leave due to the travel as life situations change. 2. Pay - Though the pay is higher than other State auditing classifications it is still lower than Federal counterparts and private industry. You will typically do joint exams with either FDIC or NCUA, who are making approximately 30% more but they travel even more and go to various states. 3. Mostly in the field, very rarely in the office, some may see this as a con as they prefer to be at the office in their cubicle.
