Is GoMining pool better than solo?

I'm curious about the benefits of using a mining pool like GoMining versus mining solo. Could you elaborate on why someone might choose GoMining over solo mining? Specifically, how does GoMining's pooling mechanism impact miners' chances of finding blocks and earning rewards? Additionally, are there any drawbacks to using a mining pool that I should be aware of? I'm interested in understanding the trade-offs involved in making this decision.
