Pros

It's a foot in the door to sales when you have no experience and/or no degree.

Cons

You make terrible money for being located in a suburb near Philadelphia, and the commission structure is weird and small. It's not really a good product to sell, and it is nearly impossible to do so if you do not come from the upper crust or you believe in wanting to make the world a greener, less toxic place; you are literally selling fertilizer and insecticide.
