Pros

If you don't hit commission you still have hourly to fall back on. They have good team building strategies. They are willing to work with you on a flexible schedule that would work for you and them.

Cons

Hourly is minimum wage, and the company policies are always changing from one week to the next. I can't seem to keep a steady pace.
