Pros

Make your own schedule during the week, drive around to appointments doing your own thing. Good pay if you hit sales goal, expect about 85-90k total your second full year if you can do it.

Cons

Your life is now metrics, you have numbers to hit and they're not easy. Beyond that every number is broken down into sub categories so you can see how well you're achieving said numbers. These then influence everything your managers are going to tell you. I.E.: you need to meet with customers x times per month (30-40) and of those meeting you need a certain amount at the right companies with multiple people at each. It's a good job for a young person, lots of money and job security since they spend about 100k on training you + getting your equipment. Good springboard into better sales jobs down the road.
