Vantaggi
Good people. Fellow examiners are always willing to assist. You can enroll in travel rewards programs and benefit from the travel portion of the job. Good learning experience.
Svantaggi
Over burdening scheduling of exams. Many people need to do work during non business hours to catch up, without getting compensated for it. The work is never "done". It's similar to a post office or an assembly line where the work keeps coming, no matter how many jobs you have yet to "complete". Many times you go into an exam with no knowledge of the review areas, except for reading a few pages of "guidance", which at times can put you in embarrassing situations. For the amount of work, responsibilities and stress, the salary is not even close to competitive to the street. Some Directors extend exams for their own personal gain, at the expense of the exam staff.
