Pros

You get to be your own boss and essentially start your own business. If you have no experience and seem like you'd be a good fit they'll consider you. If they hire you they'll pay for you to get fully certified and go through a training program. They start you off with a base salary that tapers off over 5 years as commissions are expected to grow.

Cons

The training program seems rushed and it's easy to feel unprepared once you actually start doing the job. Also, starting your own business is really difficult.
