Pros

Flexible hours Different every day Free wine tasting You get to meet tons of different people

Cons

They did not train me at all and then have the audacity to be upset when I would make a mistake. The commission only pay structure was not communicated to me so I expected a salary Because it’s only commission based any work you do apart from selling (unloading, shelving, driving, etc.) is completely unpaid The hiring process is unclear (I was interviewed by 2 people from different sectors and when I got the job no one could tell me where I would be working or how much I would be making
