Pros
An engineer's salary is enough to get by I.e. pay rent, car, insurance, and buy groceries... but not much left for anything else. The sales folks are more valued than engineers and thus get paid more.
Cons
Bonuses, raises, and stock options are rare... like maybe once every 5 years for a raise or a bonus... stock options not at all. Raises were more an adjustment for inflation rather than a raise.
