Pros
-There is potential to make great money. Some guys make well over $50K their first year despite being told you'll make $30K or so your first year. There are a lot of guys who make over $100K a year, but it takes a few years to get to that point. (one guy makes over $300k). -GREAT discounts on gear. You get everything at cost, and some stuff for below cost. -You will learn a LOT about new gear. You get to see stuff months before it's released. -There's a slide right by the Sales floor
Cons
-LOTS of phone calls. If you hate talking on the phone, you will hate this job. That's what you do for most of the day. -Late shifts. You will work late 3 nights a week, plus one Saturday a month for the first 5 years or so. -Monday morning sales labs are so boring and a waste of time. You have to go to this every Monday for the first two years, unless you're in the top 50% in sales for month. -Tuesdays and Thursdays are always at least 11 hour days due to sales meetings you have to attend.
