Pros

Independent, flexible hours, networking opportunities. If you are into selling and marketing with interest in finance, than this job is probably suitable for you.

Cons

Could be frustrating, need to build your own customer base, commission based salary. You don't have an stable salary, some months you can make more and at other times you may found yourself without compensation.

Pros

Holidays off, okay pay, cross train in other areas that are needed

Cons

Managers, doesn’t keep advancement promises, always mentioning room for growth but when the opportunity presents itself they have an excuse for why right now is not a good time to move. Adds training for other departments that are short staffed but don’t compensate for all the different departments calls you are taking. Trying to take PTO is a pain, there are plenty employees so there should be no issues with taking time off
