Introduction

Employees are often valuable assets to any company but can also be costly and time-consuming. Full-time employees usually have more experience than freelancers or part-time workers, but they may not be affordable or necessary for every business. Here's what you should consider when deciding whether to hire full-time employees for your startup:

Pros

• Flexibility: Having full-time employees allows you to have a flexible work schedule. You can decide to work more hours on Fridays and less on Mondays, for example.
• Reliability: Employees are more reliable than contractors because they work for an employer who has invested in them and will pay them if no work is available. They are also incentivized to be loyal since the company could fire them at any time if they don't do their job well enough or do something against company policy (like steal from their employer). This means that your projects will get done faster with fewer mistakes!
• Experience: Full-time workers have experience doing similar tasks over many years--they know what works best and what doesn't work at all; this saves time for both parties involved because there won't be any trial-and-error processes involved before finding out whether something works or not.* Specialized Skillsets: If there's one thing I learned from my last few jobs as an intern/temp worker was how easy it was for me not only find another job but also make more money than my previous position thanks...

Cons

• You'll have higher costs. Full-time employees are more expensive than independent contractors or part-time freelancers. You'll need to pay them a salary (or at least some sort of hourly rate) and cover the cost of benefits like health insurance, paid time off and retirement plans.
• You'll have more responsibility. If you hire full-time employees, you're responsible for everything from their hiring process to their performance evaluations--and if something goes wrong with one person on your team, it could affect everyone else in different ways.* For example: Your employee quits without notice and doesn't come back for two weeks? That's going to leave a hole in your workflow that needs filling immediately! But if this same thing happened with an independent contractor who did not work directly under anyone else at all times... well... it wouldn't be nearly as big of an issue because there would still be plenty left over from last week's workload (and maybe even next week too).

A full-time employee is the way to go if you're looking for someone who can work in your business daily. They'll probably be more reliable than contractors because they're not getting paid by the hour and don't have other clients competing with yours for their attention (though some contractors do offer guaranteed hours). Also, if you need something done right away or regularly throughout the week (and not just during off hours), then it makes sense to hire someone full-time so that nothing falls through the cracks due to scheduling conflicts or lack of availability.

Full-time employees are also generally less expensive than contractors because they're not paying taxes on their income as self-employed individuals; furthermore, employers typically contribute toward medical benefits (though this varies from state to state). However, keep in mind that this doesn't mean paying into Social Security benefits--you'll still need separate accounts set up specifically for those purposes!

Conclusion

The bottom line is that full-time employees are a great way to get the job done, but they're not always necessary. If you want to save money on hiring or don't have a lot of work for someone to do, consider using freelancers instead.
