Pros

Commission-ability to make unlimited amounts when you are selling a lot Hours can be flexible ( depending on manager) Learning about the sales process and customer relations

Cons

-There is a constant air of negativity between co-workers, people are generally miserable and the managers are more concerned about going to get their coffee and snack. -Managers are always there to tell you your doing a bad job, but never to commend you when it is deserving -Terrible strategy for placing employees in departments, certain people will be more successful in departments that they can relate to -Constantly having to watch your back so your sale isn't stolen -Promotions are promised but not acted on- certain people receive promotions because of who they are and who they know -They give a good speech of endless opportunities but it is VERY rare
