Pros

As a commissioned sales associate, you dictate how much you make depending on how aggressive you are at getting to the customers before anyone else does. The money can be good during peak times of the year.

Cons

As a commissioned sales associate, your coworkers dictate how much you make depending on how aggressive they are at getting to the customers before you do. There can be some stiff competition and underhanded methods employed to gain the upper hand over you and your other coworkers. Projects that take you away from sales can really cut into your money-making ability. @$4 an hour +commission that can be good... unless it's a project that is not considered "Project Pay Worthy"
