Pros

decent chance to make money if you are in a good location good sales training trips across the country steady schedule many of your peers are good people and you can have a lot of fun

Cons

the store manager i had was a joke at best, very disrespectful and on a power trip. sales goals are very high even in low possibility areas. get used to 'why didnt you do this...' even if youre beating all of your goals, if your not screwing over your customer to get every possible dollar youre doing something wrong.
