The base pay is lower than average and if you are working in a market that isnt strong (yet) it can be tough to reach your bonus.

Pros

If you work hard you'll move up the chain quickly. Upper Management Promotion happens within the company as opposed to outside recruitment. The potential for growth in the company and for the industry is HUGE. In management you will never be bored at work stuck with one job title or task. You'll be trained to handle a variety of areas including warehouse management, inventory management, customer service and sales leadership, accounting and account management, purchasing and procurement and some aspects of each can sometimes all happen within the same day.

Cons

The nature of the industry can be quite hectic in the summer time which can require long hours.
