Pros
Contract work really means you get out what you put in - being self motivated really helps. Good team work amongst other contract coaches, easy support system in place for new and green coaches.
Cons
Contract work means you take a cut - that is at times frustrating, but that's the trade off and reality when working in this industry.
Perks on bikes, equipment, etc. Travel with camps. Extended lunch breaks allow for
a lot of riding.
Cons
Pay is ridiculous for the background most coaches have.. Upward mobility lacking. Clicky and favoritism evident very quickly. Overworked and raises/promotions based on numbers more than athlete satisfaction. Becomes a numbers game and feels like personal training business in that sense. Management promotes a sense of always challenging each other and showing that you are "right" and the other person is wrong. Not the ideal learning environment for everyone.
