Pros

Good commission, basically £20,000 in sales = £800, average bathroom will sell for about £3k, average installation will sell for about £7-11k. Get to use company car to go to customers houses, sometimes you might spend 4 hours just going to peoples houses and measuring up. Good place for an entry level sales person. I started here now I'm a regional sales manager. Get to learn how to design bathrooms on a computer.

Cons

CUSTOMERS CALL TO ASK FOR A REFUND AND YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE IT TO THEM AND YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM. Loooong hours, when you're lone working (2-3 times a week), you can't leave the store from 8-6pm, no lunch, nothing. Some months, there's no customers and you just get a salary of £1100 (which is not enough) You're managers will make you HOUND customers, as soon as they leave the store, you have to call them 97763 times to pressure them into a sale, this is something the managers insist on.
