Pros

I enjoy the flexibility of creating my own schedule rather than being confined to specific working hours. I am naturally quite social, so I enjoy encountering people from different walks of life who are excited about being progressive. I also like having a direct influence over my potential financial earnings. Like any business, some exertion of effort is required for results, but it is worth the experience once things start taking off!

Cons

I would say that you would definately need to become good friends with self-discipline and time management!

Pros

The people who are left are lovely

Cons

You are expected to perform outside your job description. Promotions are nearly impossible. Layoffs are now part of the culture. The "pink bubble" only applies to you when they need you. Once they declare you disposable, their attitude towards you drastically changes. When you get laid off, their package is pittance.
