Vantaggi
Flexibility. Independence. Decent starting point for a great career. Good for college students who plan to do bigger and better things.
Svantaggi
Base pay is not that great. Commission; if margin isn't high enough they take money out of commission. If customer doesn't pay their bill within set time, the commission originally earned is taken out of your check even if the company pays later on. Lack of training; basically thrown out in the field to figure it out on your own, but expected to do your job well. No communication. Extremely high turn over rate. The company makes it really difficult to sale the product due to high prices. You're expected to be an accountant, sales rep, inventory manager, delivery person, and so much for such little pay.
