Employee retention is important

Pros

Cons

Being a contractor means that there are certain privileges that you are not entitled to. Sometimes management fails to see the bigger picture of things.

Take some effort to retain staff. Knee-jerk reactions when people start leaving isn't really the best way to do it.

Few number of projects and resources, company growth is a big question ?
