Pros

If you find the right situation, the comp plan can turn out to be pretty good; work life balance was OK.

Cons

Little, if any, opportunity for advancement in the Sales team. Expectation was to turn over accounts after they were opened to another person (Acct Mgr or Client Partner). No real opportunity to get to know a client and work with them for an extended period of time.
