Pros
If you are a sales person you have the potential to make upwards of $500,000 a year. You will be given a seat at the table because you are the one you "brings in the money." You get trips and bonuses and recurring revenue through renewals. If you want to make a lot of money- become an insurance producer.
Cons
If you are not a sales person you will be subject to 100% accuracy at all times, lest you be forced out by a top producer or upper management. If you are not a sales person all you will be is a cog in someone's money churning wheel. Your ideas are not counted unless you are on the closing end of the deal. Even though you are the one doing all the technical work. Management is also very cheap unless they are paying themselves or their producers.
