When you are with a group you are less likely to make mistakes but at a cost of you may mess around and do less work or one person does all the work. But with a group you could also get more done and progress faster, and as they always say "2 brains is better than one." Another good thing about groups is you will feel like you fit in with someone or have a purpose and groups help self motivate each other.

Advantages- people have different specialties, ideas, and personalities, so everyone can contribute something different to the group. You can assign different tasks to different group members to try and balance out the work load.
Disadvantages- some people will slack off and others will try to do everything. Sometimes people won't talk with each other before making changes to the project.
