Business Outlook

Pros

You spend 98% of your time working with and communicating with your client employer. If that's a good fit, it's wonderful.

Cons

If the client terminates your role, it's likely you'll be laid off by Control Risks - unless they have a very specific role in-house or with another client to offer to you. If you're laid off by CR, it's unlikely you'll be paid severance.
