Pros

Stateside Work is good. Very Productive Group. It was a Pleasure working with them. just wish I had stayed stateside and this review would have been different

Cons

Doxycycline- Common Anti-Malarial Drug Prescribed by Tetra Tech prior to going to Kabul. The effects of these drugs can be devastating. The chances of your catching malaria in Kabul is practically Zero. There is no guarantee this stuff can protect you. Nothing but the requirement to take the med was part of your out-briefing. You couldn't leave without it. Well I got a problem that may last a lifetime. Not to scare everyone. The side effects are rare, but nonetheless a possibility. It should be your choice to take this medicine and it should be made clear.

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.
