Pros

Fun environment. Travel Opportunity. Work life balance & holidays. Learning curve.

Cons

No job security. Rarely do people move up. Movement=In, down, and out the door. Managers are not incentivized to help their subordinates, so they rarely do. Clicky. If people don't like you, you will not have an opportunity to make money. Also, commission is constantly revised, against the employees interest. Unequal pay among same level jobs. Very unmotivated behavior from upper management.
