Pros

Good to manage your own hours and travel. If you are good enough you will get an opportunity to travel to other locations and get per diem and other benefits.

Cons

Be very careful about who is your Field Manager. The game is very political and deniability of responsibility at this level. Many very nasty self important FM females who cannot be trusted to be at your back. Don't ask too many questions and try to get help unless the FM likes you. It makes no difference if you are a top producer or bottom level person the FM is the God of the kingdom and many rule with a bad attitude and my way or the highway mentality
