Pros

The potential for making money is available. The average starting base is $30k but you can negotiate a higher salary with previous experience. From personal experience and other co-workers $35k-$45k is salary you could negotiate but only for 1 year then you go to a $30k base. And you don't get your commission until you exceed your negotiated base pay of X. Make sure they explain how the "Guaranteed Commission" works and factors into your commission.

Cons

Long hours you first year to build your network and then long hours after that year to maintain your commission. The health benefits are horrible.

Pros

good contract customer was expectin at least a year plus of working with a a company called microsoft. made good friends at the last job i did with them.

Cons

contract barely lasted 5 months for me, less for others. I felt used as a tax write off, They laid us off without notice. We had suspected it would happen again after the first time 300 people got let go. When it happened the first time we were surprised now the second time I got to be angry. They lack communication and knowing how to handle an overpopulated work place and proper protocol about laying people off. for some people who relocated and they have still not recieved pay and since their contract is over they may not even recieve it.
