Pros

Payed for your performance, felt like running your own business

Cons

Most weeks have split days off with the occasional Friday Saturday Sunday and a Sunday Monday within a 6 week period. 100% commission is rough on a bad month! but overall it was fairly consistent.

Cons

Schedule inflexibility. Unpredictable hours. Forget about personal life. Training material is overwhelming. Low pay (especially at newer locations with low sales)
