Pros

A good stepping stone to sales and sales management. Teaches you how to run a business.

Cons

Salary and commissions are criminal. They will not promote you if you are difficult to replace. So they will promote a lesser qualified and ignorant individual because they are easier to replace - doesnt make sense but is a fact.
