Pros

Brand recognition. The ability to own your own business. Great signing bonuses, support, training. You can make a very good income. You own your interest in your book of business. You can test out every idea you have ever thought your previous boss should try.

Cons

You will need about $50,000 to start. Make sure your rates are competitive for the area you are wanting to start your agency. Marketing can be difficult when you are getting started. You must find new and creative ways to market your agency. Staffing will be the most frustrating part in owning your business. Master this and the marketing piece and you will do great.

Pros

Large Stable company, decent benefits, provide social gathering opportunities for remote employees.

Cons

Communication is not the best. from leadership down or between departments. Perception is valued higher then performance. Under stress people may turn hostile and the leadership is not equipped to address in well. In case of my manager some of the expectations were not reasonable.
