Pros

-Flexibility -Good training -If you have S-tier good people its easy

Cons

-No work/life balance -Work 18-40k for free every year -Extreme lack of support from corporate. They know the issues but because people still work for them there's no change. -Low payroll and no real metric on how you get it. It's based of store size not sales or workload like they say. -Low pay keeps good employees away. -All your vendors or reps make they same or more than you do. Go work for them.
