Answer:
Pros :
You had the possibility to help people rather directly as there were more little towns.
People were much more receptive to your preaches. You had a rather large freedom of speech especially if you were a bishop. (This is not in middle ages but the priest that lead Louis XIV burial mass said in his preach “Only God is great !” (Implicitly saying that the king was a standart man that was confronted to the same necessity than other people).
You had access to a good education (and to some boos, what was rather scarce before the XVIth century) hence, you were one of the few litterate persons allowing you to teach people how to read and write. You could have an intellectual influence and a social influence by teaching the local lord’s children how to read and sometimes give political pieces of advice to the local lord.
You could yourself be a local lord as bishop / head of an abbey.
You could be the head of a local charity (origin of hospitals).
In France you didn’t pay taxes. On the contrary, you received one tenth of peasants’ crops.
If you were an eminent bishop / cardinal, or if you were the Pope you could have tremendous spiritual and political power.
You could get married while being a catholic priest (before the XIIth century, before 1123 precisely).
Cons :
You could be obliged to condemn people because they didn’t believe in God - help the Inquisition.
You had to help / discuss with people that were sentenced to death what should have been very difficult on a psychological point of view.
You couldn’t get married after the XIIth century (after 1123).
You could be seen with envy considering your privileges.

The main reason why so many Americans were so willing to engage in stock market speculation in the 1920s is because the "roaring" economy of the 20s meant that investors could make wildly high returns on their investment in relatively small amounts of time, especially since there was practically no government regulation of investment under the Great Depression, which began with the crash of 1929.
For people in the modern world, there may be nothing more difficult to comprehend than the group calling itself the Islamic State, or ISIS. The beheadings, rapes, and other acts of cruelty seem beyond understanding, as does the wanton destruction of priceless ancient monuments. Perhaps most mystifying of all is the way ISIS has been able to recruit young men — and even some young women — from the industrialized West, particularly Europe: the conventional wisdom is that the cure for ethnic and religious violence is “development,” education, and the opportunities provided by free markets. This seems not to be the case.
Because of the mainstream media’s narrow and often misplaced focus, it’s not surprising that most Westerners believe that religious extremism is primarily a problem of Islam. But the fighting in Syria and Iraq is not the only ethnic or religious conflict underway. There has been violence between Sinhalese and Tamils in Sri Lanka, Buddhists and Hindus in Bhutan, Hindus and Sikhs in Punjab, Eritreans and Ethiopians in the Horn of Africa, Hutu and Tutsi in Rwanda, ethnic Russians and Ukrainians in the former Soviet Union, and many more. The fact is, fanaticism, fundamentalism, and ethnic conflict have been growing for many decades—and not just in the Islamic world.
Failure to recognize this trend can lead to the belief that terrorism is a product of nothing more than religious extremism and will end when secular market-based democracies are established throughout the world. Unfortunately the reality is far more complex, and unless we address the underlying causes of conflict and terrorism, a more peaceful and secure future will remain elusive.
To really understand the rise of religious fundamentalism and ethnic conflict we need to look at the deep impacts of the global consumer culture on living cultures throughout the planet. Doing so allows us not only to better understand ISIS and similar groups, but also to see a way forward that lessens violence on all sides.
I hope this Helps...
