Pros

I worked as a Lead Cook at one of the Cafes on Microsoft Campus in Redmond, WA. Some of the pros were that we had weekends off and paid holidays.

Cons

It was very hard to get time off, since we were very understaffed. The pay is too low in my opinion for the work that we do there.

Pros

Autonomy, trust, not being tied to a desk, and encouragement to bring your authentic self to work are among the highlights. However, as a contractor, this may vary from account/site to site. Also, annual raises awarded, despite what the client schedule for increases looks like. A huge network of subsidiary companies

Cons

My current client site is one of the higher paying in my region, which is a good problem to have for some time, but leaves little room to grow financially. Also, growth rarely if ever happens staying in the same account, so financial/role growth will rest mostly upon pursuing other opportunities at different Compass accounts.
