Pros

It is an industry that allows me to make the type of money in commission that few other do

Cons

It is an industry that never lets up, your days off are not your own, you are not encouraged to take vacations, as a matter of fact there is no staffing for our vacations, our partners must work straight through our vacations with no breaks
