Pros

Cool Gear, Equipment discounts, fun environment, cool management. There are always opportunities for advancement if you are flexible and are willing work hard.

Cons

Don't think that it is all about playing with cool gear, at the end of the day it is a retail sales job. It is loud and hours are often long. I feel the money was bad, but considering the local market, all sales jobs are tough.
