Pros

There is a possibility to make good money. Only if you can close within their closing rate. They say commission but they really mean spiff.

Cons

You have to sell to folks that are on a fixed income, and convenience them to buy now and don't think about it. Or your closing rate sucks and you don't get paid for items you sold all during the week. Company still makes a lot of money, but you only make your hourly rate. The closing rate can vary, with hang ups, fax calls, transfers and drop calls. You have to drag out the call with Non buyers so you can keep your close rate down? They all are accounted for towards your closing rate. For example you can close on 25 items and close your rate can below their minimum and you will only make your hourly wage. That's not a commission and it's not a spiff if you don't make something.
