Pros

Get to meet lots of fun, similar-aged, hard-working people Get to work with genuinely interesting clients. Pay can be great, especially right out of college, if you perform well

Cons

Quality of the role is highly dependent on your team and manager. Your manager will micromanage everything you do. If you don't mesh well with them, the role becomes a nightmare. Moreover, they decide which projects you get, which directly correlates to how well you will perform, causing power imbalances and favoritism - managers are generally young/inexperienced. Hard to maintain MONTHLY quota (most sales-type bonus structures are quarterly, but AS has it monthly to maintain high anxiety for new grads) Extremely high turnover
