Pros

Great place to make some money $$$. They offer hourly plus commission and product bonus! Guaranteed clientele which means money $$$. They are always offering educational classes from technical skills to product knowledge training and a lot more!

Cons

It's very busy which is good but sometimes learning when to call it a day and go home....even if there is customers waiting. We want to stay and do more.
