Pros

If you are a STAR salesperson you can make A LOT of money. I worked there for three months and made a minumum of $900 a week after the training period. I made $1500 a week several times. If you work hard and have god given talent you can make a great deal of money. Great experience to take WITH you as you move on. And you WILL move on, no matter how much money you make. If you can sell this and make a lot of money, you can make A LOT more money selling other things.

Cons

Long hours, repeated vinacular and the untalented individuals are very negative. They think they should get paid for showing up at work even if they arent productive. A TON of walking, inclimate weather and overall CHEAP feeling.

Pros

- Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

Cons

- Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
