Pros

You have freedom to create your own schedule. Management is really supportive and is willing to offer hep if you need it.

Cons

REally tough to get started if you are going into a cold market. It was hard to juggle this internship with classes.

Pros

work like balance is highly preached here. it is a commission only environment so it is difficult to get started, but can be rewarding for the right candidate

Cons

it is a commission only environment and it does tend to seem that it is a cattle call. even though industry wide, the retention rate is about 12%
