Pros
As DM of Sales (you enter as an associate DM) you have a somewhat flexible schedule to accomodate your needs. However, you must make sure you are doing the work to ensure hitting your goals. Sales management is very kind, doesn't chew you out for not hitting your goals, and are generally supportive. For a sales environment, there are very few "closed door" meetings.
Cons
Your territory can largely determine your success. This isn't to say that if you are put into a less than ideal area that you can't succeed, however it sure makes it harder to hit your goals and therefore, succeed. Sales expectancies can often seem daunting or unreachable.
