Vantaggi
Steady, stable work. Decent pay and good work experience for future positions. Lots of paid time off, if you can actually find the time.
Svantaggi
Sales people can literally do nothing wrong; production is constantly blamed for sales' mistakes, and are usually difficult/unreasonable to work with. More than a few sales people have difficultly with high school math, causing mistakes, which are then blamed on production as well. Some production departments pass all blame onto their vendors, which are all independent contractors. Sales people often do not know important information regarding the products they are selling. Company also expects you to work long hours, nights and weekends. They don't actually tell you that you have to, but they give you a company phone and suggest it's for working on the weekends. I rarely take vacations where I'm not answering emails 1-2 hours a day, on vacation. Sales and revenue is valued above all else.
