Pros

Potential commission, decent amount of time allowed off, get to be outside a lot. Meet a lot of interesting people, and can make some nice relationships for future help. It is also not hard to transfer to another location if you are moving. The people I work with are nice though.

Cons

Long hours, don't get paid much in comparison to the manager who makes my monthly paycheck in one commission check. I struggle while he's fine. The branch is very unorganized and no one is really stepping up to change that.
