Pros
You have an opportunity to learn from a mastermind of sales and knowing the customer. Likewise, as long as you haul the company line, you can rise.
Cons
There are, unfortunately, a ton of them. First among them is the autocracy by the CEO, Mattress Mack. Success, with some luck, has helped him mentally forge a feeling that he can do no wrong and it is his way or the highway. Opinions are not listened to, unfortunately - unless they are those of family. To wit, some family members once recommended that the manager of the monkeys may be better suited to being the marketing director, even though the monkey man manager had no real-world marketing experience which then led to a changeover. Likewise, a warehouse manager had left and came back to work, and trumped the fellow who was the harder working and most deserving when he came back as if nothing happened. These sorts of things were common place. Likewise, the advertising agency has been using the sales staff's ideas and passing it off as their own and then billing the company horrendously throughout the duration, all to the CEO not knowing. So, while there is a highly level of autocratic micromanagement, there is an unfortunate amount of backstabbing and manipulation that creates an air of deceit.
