What are the pros and cons of being an artisan in the medieval period

The cons often revolved around the fact those of the lower classes had virtually no freedom. They were vassals of the one owning the estate where they worked. They were often overtaxed (even energy-wise). They had no freedom to move from one village to another without permission from the one 'lording it over them'. 


On the positive side they were protected by their lords or those over them from vandals and marauders.
