Pros

Can learn the basics of RV's very quickly. Store aspect is basically a typical retail environment.

Cons

Some locations are cooperatives...Retail store coupled with RV sales and service. Though they use the same name (Camping World) The service and sales side is actually a different company (Freedom Roads) under the same parent umbrella company Depending on the location you may be required to do EVERYTHING from operating a forklift to writing service repair orders or cleaning the bathrooms and you will receive NO additional compensation for doing any of it while you see and hear people on the service and sales side brag about how they are making 10 to 25k per MONTH. They also put heavy emphasis on selling memberships like the store buyers club, Good Sam, Camping clubs, even insurance and extended product warranties....which you will get small commissions from if your store hit's it goal. IF. Does not matter how well YOU do, the store must hit it's numbers.
