      Pros

      A bar located next door was the closest to a pro for working here.

      Cons

      I wasn't on the job more than 10 minutes before one of the "grand dames" working there started questioning me about my familial status, then proceeded to tell me that if my now-husband and I started trying to get pregnant at that time, we could have a baby when I turned 50 (I was going on 48 years old at the time), and retire when the child graduated from high school. Also, the manager at the time told me that once I had a clientele list like that woman and one other did, I would be a valuable employee who could dictate my availability and do what I wanted.

      Pros

      Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

      Cons

      Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
