Pros

Flexible hours. Work from home when your not in busy season.

Cons

Late production year over year, lack of management support when production issues continually occur, quality control issues, management doesn't address actual concerns/issues (pretend like it's not happening while reps have to keep good relations with very unhappy customers), low pay for the amount of stress you take on, raise sales goals each year without fixing recurring production issues. Varsity cares about the bottom line not customer satisfaction.
