Phone interview- Very odd and I was left with a bad feeling about the company. Position required excessive travel which I have no problem with. As much as 1 to 12 weeks at a time with an average of about 6 to 8 weeks away. Megan pointed out that the company likes to “give you time at home” between assignments to take care of personal things which I thought was great. However, she pointed out that the company doesn’t pay for this down time and she tried to sell it to me as a big positive. She explained that the other Deployment Technicians simply save money by eating less on the road and saving Per Diam as well as overtime to offset the weeks of downtime that I could expect. She even went as far as to say that some of them simply give up their homes and keep their things in long term storage to save expenses. In turn they would either stay with a friend or move back in with parents or family while they are in town.
