Pros

The job really doesn't take any brain power. Decent pay. Will work with school schedule (sometimes) It is incredibly difficult to get fired. You would have to actively try to do so.

Cons

3 interviews required for even the most basic of jobs (which is inefficient). ZERO training provided Management does not follow through on promises They will not give you pay raises no matter how long you've been there Performance bonuses/perks are misguided Inaccurate measurement metrics used to judge performance Will promise you assistance/promotional opportunities through phrases like "we promote from within," and "we take pride in our training" however, they will not fulfill those promises. No incentives for education/tuition reimbursement/ other programs which promote any intelligence in staffing

Pros

Great training ground for someone to get their feet wet for sales. Good training in product sourcing. Good sales training theory assets. If you get a good manager you can make enough to live on and learn a lot.

Cons

Terrible pay, terrible job security, terrible commissions. I worked here for 5 years including part time experience before taking a chance and changing companies. Nearly doubled my yearly salary in one job change. They will fire or move you in a very short amount of time in order to prevent you building too deep a relationship with customers and be in a place to expect a higher salary.
