Pros

The product base that I sell (working on computing) is really interesting and you will receive a good mix of customers

Cons

Where to start? Over complicated computer systems. Management who shout at you and make you feel like an idiot. No feeling of job security. There can be no customers in the shop and the managers will berate you for not selling. Work ridiculous hours over the holidays without consideration to home life. Unsympathetic in case of sickness (you being sick isn't great for the company? Yeah, not great for the employee either). A ridiculous number of things to try and sell to customers. If we try and do everything asked of us with one customer, it's nearly guaranteed they would turn cold or even not purchase the items. If we don't do everything, the system of micro management that is in place will soon have you sat down for a "chat" (warning). Oh, and 4 weekly payments not monthly
