Pros

Freedom and flexibility to do the right thing for your client. There is no pressure to recommend products that are not in the best interest of your client. You are free to build your business the way you want.

Cons

It takes a lot of work to build your practice to the point of it being self-sustaining.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
