Pros
fairly good vp support you are your own boss schedule flexibility once you're business is established income potential is strong
Cons
The staffing industry is saturated. It's key to know your market prior to starting a business in it. The margins in my area were nowhere near what home office indicated was a typical range. After a year of blood sweat and tears in working to build the business the vp supporting my office said, "let me call a few contacts in that market to determine normal margins". The VP reported back that what I'd been experiencing was in fact the norm for the market. It would have been so much more helpful if they'd given me that info prior to opening the office. If your market has fairly slim margins it will be tough to make much money given the large share Pridstaff coprorate takes from your local office revenue. Their 35% of revenue will make you uncompetitive in a saturated low margin market.
