      Pros

      -It is a great resume builder -Learn a lot about the industry -Only hire within the company -Could make a good living -Great people -No weekends -Part time work is great for a high school student of a full time college student.

      Cons

      -Have to start off at part time, unless you are lucky and get a full time inside sales position -Money is awful starting off, it is okay as you move up in the company if you dont mind making $60,000 or so as a GM (which to me is not very worth it) -Can be a lot of pressure to make quota (but it is sales, so what is new) -Part time hours and money is pretty much a slap in the face. -Base salary for outside sales is pretty pathetic also.

      Pros

      Lots of responsibility. Decentralized company, which can work in your favor.

      Cons

      Pay is low based on competitors. Politics, lots of it. Cost-centers everywhere. Everyone has to make money off the branches: the hub, NA, regions, support, etc. Being a GM is probably one of the hardest jobs. Your job on the lean team is to support NA and the branch. It is hard to fully support both at the same time. It is a balancing act that frequently is blamed on you. Frequently, your coworkers just want to put their name on your work and create problems because of their egos.
