Pros
Remote-friendly work with schedule flexibility
Kontras
As a contractor, I do not have steady work, have to file and pay my own taxes, and have no benefits. You also get paid monthly, which is challenging on the finances. I work in a silo and do not know how the company is doing or whether more work is projected. Therefore, planning my work/life is difficult. There are no opportunities to grow. I had to pay for my own software applications to do my work. It is employee-owned, which could be a pro or a con.
