Pros

Gear discounts are nice. It's cool to get the inside scoop on new stuff that's coming out. That's really about it.

Cons

First off, management is absolutely terrible. Essentially no people skills. Huge lack of transparency within the company. It always felt like we were being left in the dark on any important issues. For the amount of revenue sales people generate, the compensation is quite pitiful.

Pros

The environment is a lot of fun, the perks are great, the people you meet are awesome, and being around gear all day is awesome!

Cons

Odd hours, low pay, little opportunity for raises, the daily grind can occasionally be rough (customer service issues!) Sell or die atmosphere.
