Pros
Work environment, earning potential, fast paced, upward mobility, and you are in control of your success or failure. If you are capable of coming to work and actually working all day without someone cracking a whip than this for you. If you want to make a lot of money fast no matter how much work you have to put in this is a job for you. If you are mentally tough and rejection and criticism strengthens you instead of breaking your spirit this is the job for you. Hard work is often rewarded here because most people today want to do as little as possible.
Cons
You must put in long hours to even sniff success, constant rejection, bad situations that are out of your control, high stress, vacations and going out to lunch is frowned upon unless you making well over 100k. 80+ cold calls a day to people who generally have no interest in working with you when in sales, 100+ calls to trucking companies that intend on making your job as difficult as possible when in training. Unfortunately it is human nature for most to show favoritism to people that tell them how great they are on a daily basis. Politics isn't usually an issue if you're putting in the time and effort. Favoritism should be shown to the hardest working not those that spend the most time trying to be your friend.
