Pros
May offer the opportunity to work for a client who might otherwise not be accessible as a direct consultant. Telecommuting flexibility, depending upon the client.
Cons
Administrative staff are friendly, but consulting associates are typically treated as warm bodies - volume is most important. The only job security is what you bring to the table every day, and job growth and opportunity is what you initiate and cultivate on your own. Requests for compensation increases are initiated by the employee and are accepted by client when employee performs well.
