Vantaggi
The only "pro" is only working 6 months a year and not having to deal with management a whole lot.
Svantaggi
-Typical ambulance service mentality...you're just another licensed slave. The clients treat the employees better than SMS does! -They don't want to pay the off-shore medics a fair wage (have been 6 years with no raise). On the facility, you are only second to the catering department in pay scale, but you have 4-5 times the work. -The company wants you to spend your own money to travel to their "required" annual meetings/ training sessions. MOST companies pay mileage/ per-diem for required company functions, not SMS. You will pay for the gas, food, etc, no matter where in the country you live! PLUS, you are only paid "training pay" instead of your normal "off-shore pay". -NO room for advancement...where you are is where you will be! You can't even get transferred to another project when one opens because they keep those secret!
