Pros

Good clusters to sell, and having multiple products was a plus. Benefits were pretty good, and matching company 401k. Depending on account list, income can be decent.

Cons

Management changes meant the overall environment changed to more of a churn and burn. Management plays favoritism and if you are a favorite, then good for you, you will obtain a great account list and can do no wrong. If you are not, then you will struggle building your own list in a very fragmented medium that continues to get harder with people having so many options for music that is commercial free - MP3's, CD's, internet radio and the list goes on... Plan on long days and a lot of stress, including micro management if you are to succeed, and then sometimes even that is not enough. The industry has lost a lot of good people, and the majority are not making the 6 figures that they used to since young college grads will come do the job for 30 or 40 grand. Seniority and business acumen are not valued as they used to be.

Pros

Fun work ebvironment, on the forefront of new technologies.

Cons

If you work in sales, it is sink or swim. Training is almost non-existent. The mentality is that you are born salesperson. If you are not, it's not worth their time to teach you.
