Pros

Great training, good products, interesting job when in the field, pretty good starting pay, the experience will make you a valuable employee somewhere else when you burn out.

Cons

micromanagement, bad atmosphere in the office, no flexibility in the rules, ex: late if you arrive at 7:31am, even if you worked until 11pm the previous day. 50-70hr work week, advancement opportunities can be very limited, high turn-over, HR department seems to favor management over employees and can't be trusted with confidential information

Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.
