Pros
Some flexibility in schedule $100 month in gas If you enjoy running around and gathering clients (including some cold calling), meeting clients, establishing relationships, this is a good job. You must like driving, because you can have one apt. at 10am in one city, and another apt at 5:00pm 40 miles from there. Take this job if you enjoy meeting people, need some flexibility, enjoy driving and sales calls. do not take this job expecting to make more than 25K per year (not including expenses-wear and tear on your own car).
Cons
Spend much more than $100 in gas per month Zero base salary.. Never know when I will make money. Sales are fun, however, this job is not reliable in terms of supporting a family, as the commission only is not predictable. I work Very very hard to gain clients.. and although I enjoy this aspect, and driving around looking at the scenery, having a little flexibility in my schedule to run to the grocery store, or something.. enjoy meeting people etc, it is a lot of work, and you have to like this type of career. I would only recommend this job to someone who does not have a family to support.
