Pros

Sales Experience- many future employers will love that you have worked there. Learning about business- I've learned a good amount about business. Being able to really connect with customers- I've met some very interesting people, and in really giving good customer service, the end can be satisfying.

Cons

Management does not know how to communicate with people very well- they all have very poor people skills. Pay is not good for the work you do, and you will not get a raise for a while- the company is a little stingy. Sales are very high pressured- if that's something that motivates you just consider it carefully. I don't think they are good at not being "slimy" salesman, and teaching you how not to be one. As awesome as customers often are, there are a lot of bothersome customers. As much as they say they want to hear you, they are not very good at listening- whether it is your immediate supervisor, manager, or higher level authority. The company is not very well run.

Pros

Pay, fairly easy to communicate, lot of work, flexible schedule

Cons

Big corporation, impossible to implement new ideas that actually work, they change things based on some crazy idea from a Executive that never had any hands on experience, they make major changes out of nowhere!
