Pros

Good progression and internal promotion. Good pay and commission structure is uncapped so there is a potential to make a lot of money.

Cons

Expected to work extra hours and days in order to hit targets. Limited help and advice if targets are missed one month. Marketing decided at head office which isn't always relevant to the local area.
