Pros

Commissions can be decent, as long as you put in more work than it is worth to earn said commission.

Cons

Unpaid Saturday morning meetings due to commission draw, ie: coming in from 8am until 10am to be harassed about not selling enough scam warranties. You'd get paid two hours pay and lose two hours of commission on your draw, thus appearing for free. Also, draconian standards that are always a detriment to your pay such as docking your commission for not forcing enough customers to purchase enough scam warranties, but never receiving a bonus for doing well in selling them. The promotions are also detrimental in that they often give you a better draw but have less time to sell, thus cutting your pay to take more responsibility.
