Pros

Your paycheck always clears the bank.

Cons

Expect to develop a sixth sense for trash. You’ll know when a bag contains expired yogurt, a broken blender, or someone’s hopes and dreams. It’s like being a psychic detective, but instead of solving crimes, you’re solving the mystery of who threw out that creepy porcelain doll.

Lack of training. Everyone is willing to help you along the way, but you are thrown to the wolves in the sales department.
