Discrepancy and not equal treatment

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility to work on different projects

Cons

Staff and consultants treated very differently. Consultants are hired to pick up the slack of staff who have worked there long-term and have very minimal risk about ever being fired due to low performance.
