Pros

It is a job. Pays below industry standard.

Cons

Management takes credit for work not their own! Communication between departments does not flow easily. Expectations are unreasonable, therefore, it is unrealistic to reach goal. No commission unless annual goal is surpassed. Lots of micromanagement, not support.
