Pros
Better than an office environment. Work with blue collar customers. Get to get on the road. Good networking opportunities with all the businesses you work with. It does look good as experience to future employers due to all the responsibilities taken at such a high demanding career.
Cons
Confusing commission structure - constantly changing in order to keep salaries predictably low. Very cheap company, CEO has been voted the cheapest CEO in america. To get above the general manager position requires lots of politics. No air conditioning in the summer, no heat in the winter. Constant micromanaging. Unfair profit margins, the markups presented to us do not reflect the actual markup. As good of a salesman you can be, competitors flat out get the products to the customers cheaper. Often times customers will only come in as a last resort - causing morale to be low. You have to do inventory on thousands of products on a constant basis amongst juggling the actual task of sales.
