Pros

Scotts is a good company to work for. The sales rep position is a goodpostion to start with the company. Starting base salary is around 30k. Good reps can make 45K+ with commissions. Great position if you do not have a family. Long hours during peak times, and rarely get a Saturday off. Good opportunity for advancement if you're a performer. Great benefits package, matching 401k, FSA spending account. During seasonal lay-off, Scotts pays all medical benefits.

Cons

Don't even think about taking a personal day. Expected to work even when sick. If a day is taken off, prepare to be ridiculed. This position is seasonal for the 1st 60 days. Once the companyrealizes you can perform, then it becomes full-time. If you live in the North or in the colder areas, expect to only work for 8-10 months before lay-off.
