Pros

Fun if you are out of college and good experience to throw on the resume as a "first career job"

Cons

In terms of sales reps, It's really turned into a chop shop. The business model isn't new any more, the market is saturated with competition, etc. It used to be a fun, close-knit community, now employees are utterly expendable. Unless you're fresh out of college and looking to get your foot in the door, run
