Pros

Its easy to get your foot in the door and the money is pretty good for a kid straight out of highschool or as your first job. If you're good with people and know what youre doing, you can make quite a bit($50,000+)

Cons

Growth is limited in the company and if you're not starting out in one of the major stores or good spot in the company, you're going to hate the first 6 months to a year.
