Pros

It's a M-F day job, which is rare in the service industry.

Cons

They can't attract or retain qualified staff, so be prepared to be hired for one job and then shunted to another, with little to no training, but they'll tell you it's a "career opportunity". Management has big ideas with absolute no idea how to implement them. Be prepared to work long hours, often off the clock, for poor pay. Communication between departments is abysmal. Multiple projects have been cancelled due to lack of staff.

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.
