Pros

The pay cap is very high if you can get there. The other team members and comradery at the entry levels.

Cons

Work life balance is non existent, you have no stop time you get to go home or communicate to family. If your numbers dip the system decides you work less which then tanks your numbers further. Management is incentivized to get rid of more senior level employees with high metric requirements.

Pros

Discounted merchandise, work by yourself

Cons

Sales, doesn’t matter about you hooking up a new house or anything but sales and there’s a minimum you need to sell each job.
