Pros

Management is very encouraging and helpful. Also my manager is very transparent with his actions and requests so we know why things need to be done a certain way. Fairly flexible hours.

Cons

Pay is ok, although if you're good commission can help quite a bit. Customers can be super rude. For some reason people seem to feel entitled to be dicks to sales people. Required to work Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays unless you have perfect numbers.

Pros

- Flexibility of schedule, as long as you exceed quota

Cons

- It's called the Solar Coaster. Working in renewable energy is rewarding for the positive provided, but the market fluctuates dramatically season to season.
