Hmmm...let's see. If happy clients aren't your thing...that's gonna be a con. If being an employee owner, and boosting your retirement potential isn't what you're looking for, that's a con. If being able to reach out for expertise in areas you don't specialize is beyond your needs, I guess that could be a con. Let me tell you, after leaving, my eyes are opened. We may not make top base dollar salaries compared to others (not that it's lower than the norm, but some are higher). But with the commission system and being just 80% billable, you can make thousands more. If you're talking through this in recruitment, ask about it and get the numbers.
