Pros

Pretty cushy office job. Desks/cubicles are comfortable and usually well maintained. Seasonal work, so even if you hate it, it's only a few months of the year.

Cons

You're expected to put up with abusive customers, which is pretty par for the course across all customer service jobs. Scheduling is a nightmare, especially during peak season. You have to sign a paper saying you agree to work over 40 hours a week before they hire you. Hardly ever get days off, and most requests are denied.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
