Pros

Uncapped commission, management, training, teammates

Cons

flawed metrics that seem to reward people who take shortcuts. constant changing of what's being prioritized. PA status that penalizes people for having a bad stretch. some reps will get 20-25 calls each day while others get 2-3 and are still expected to hit certain metrics. time off is too difficult and being a minute late is punished even if you've never been late.
