Pros

None that are worth putting up with the cons

Cons

Toxic environment, unrealistic expectations, poor treatment from leadership unless you’re a doormat that hits their numbers (which is close to impossible now), gaslighting is the leadership style, you will not make as much money as you’re promised, there is no room for growth, consignors are irate so doing outreach is painful, no one is upper management actually understands the business and make detrimental decisions that negatively impact sales managers and field reps. Just stay away and you’ll thank yourself later.
