Pros
Personal relationships with customers. Learning all the latest info about all the latest tech. Playing and demoing all the newest tech products. Commission pay = potential to make decent money.
Cons
Company is run by absolute criminals who will do anything they can to take every penny from you. Whether it's raising cost on products so you don't get paid, refusing to order non "in house brand" products. Consistently introducing promotions that only harm the salesman, for example "all customers get cost" with promotions like these, the salesman are required to surrender any profit /commision in the products they sell. Training is non existent. You will be thrown to the wolves and expected to survive and if you don't, you will be fired without hesitation. HO and management will offer you next to no support. You will be consistently harrased over sales targets that are far beyond the control of a simple salesman. There is a massive divide between operations staff and sales. Sales are constantly harrased by management and are expected to not only sell, but also maintain cleanliness, stock and tag shelves, do TV inspections and carryout, manage online orders and so much more. Operations staff spend half their shift twiddling their thumbs or consistantly leave early with full pay. Management is poorly trained, manipulative liars, and extremely unprofessional. They care about their bonuses and nothing else and you are simply a tool for them, nothing more.
