Pros

The company has flexibile hours and they work around your schedule. My personal experience was with selling shoes, and the commission you receive is reasonable and fair. Gave me a good understanding for customer service and how to deal and communicate with people. The in store benefit was also an advantage.

Cons

Working on your feet the entire day was tiring and stressful. Some of the management micro managed, but that is just a product of the particular store I worked in. The area of sales is a tough field since it is based not soley on performance but a customer selecting something from your store.
