Pros

Base pay is tolerable. Leave options cannot be beat. Flexibility for your schedule. Opportunity to meet interesting people.

Cons

Depending on your region, commission is seldom awarded. Your pay is actually only base plus the rare, very small commission. During the hiring process, you will be given incorrect figures for your overall compensation. You will be mislead about actual company performance. Your team will be from many different industries which makes it difficult to have everyone one the same page.
