Pros

Good stepping stone job, for beginners. If you need to build a demo reel. Sales people make a decent amount of money.

Cons

At multiple stations I've heard the same thing. People in multiple departments all agree they're significantly underpaid for the amount they do. It's frustrating when you see jobs flipping burgers that pay better than you make in a highly skilled position!
