Pros

Good Pay Flexible Hours but alot of computer work (manager) depending on your manager Great Benefits

Cons

They move you around to different territories and change products on you yearly Promotional opportunities are not there. This is a shrinking industry and manager jobs are few and far between. Sales goals are usually out of reach, and the pressure to attain them is always there.
