Pros

- Ability to review daily SPH is a driving factor that keeps you motivated - Acquiring knowledge on various types of gear

Cons

- It takes time to built commission rates, which can be financially stressful - You much find the balance between hours worked and sales performed - if you're scheduled a full 40 hours a week you'll lose SPH and commission
