Pros

Its a great way to make a lot of important contacts, especially dealing with business customers, and of course there are perks and incentives like discounts and other accommodations. In many cases as well there are some very passionate people working there and they can be some good friends as well.

Cons

Some cases there is some unfairness as far as how promotions and raises are handled, but thats more or less a thing with individual managers not wanting too much change, one of the things that bugs me the most is that if you are too good in one area they wont let you try to get good and move to another area because they have to rely too much on you in that first area, it hurts especially when on that track there is little room to move on up the ladder.

Pros

Travel to different store locations. On travel that requires a hotel meals are covered up to $80 a day. Mileage is reimbursed outside of 20miles from home and back.

Cons

You're required to have a car and it puts alot of strain on it and your body. You could be gone from home anywhere from a few days to a few months. Changes are very last minute.
