Pros

Easy to build clientele, sharpens skills such as technical and customer service. Good to gain experience. Medical and dental insurance benefits. Commission opportunities. Good for starting out

Cons

Working every weekend, and most holidays. Breaks and sitting are discouraged. Working on feet 45 hours non stop a week.No 401k benefits. Vacation time does not roll over. Minimum wage unless you make commission. In order to make decent money you must be incredibly busy ,working at a grueling pace with no breaks. Kind of a dead end after several years. Sometimes working 10 hours on feet non stop
