Pros

They keep you busy as long as there is work to be done and as long as the customer has money to pay for you

Cons

Make sure there is work, establish a good rep with your customer or you're going to be seeing the road soon If you are good at something and no one else is, you own that something...forever, regardless of what you know, where you are going (or not going).
