Pros
Flexible with schedule requests. Good sales early in the week makes for an easy-going week of work sometimes. If you work long hours you can definitely make good money. Becoming a manager quickly is directly related to how much you sell. In order to do well, you must be ruthless and willing to work hard to keep your customer and therefore have the flexibility to choose the showroom that can work best for you.
Cons
Unreliable paychecks in a commission environment. Hard to start in an assigned showroom that may not be the best spot for you (managers come to training and negotiate on sales associates). Doing skits didn't help my sales skills at all. Learning the product helped my sales skills and talking to better salespeople helped.
