Pros

Incredibly diverse mix of people on the sales floor, generally a great bunch.

Cons

Where to begin... Constantly changing targets/commission structure, to make sure they earn more and the staff earn less. Don't care at all about their staff, I've seen people go from being sales superstars to sacked in less than 2 weeks. Senior management/directors are clueless when it comes to people management, will offer loads of empty promises but never deliver. Commission used to be almost 20% on some deals... now people are struggling to earn 5%. Unrealistic KPI's HR/Recruitment function is there to get bums on seats, these guys will hire more or less anyone. The only way to progress is by being part of the "clique" or if your a woman, doing "favours" for senior male staff. Racism is rife within senior management. Training system is awful, its almost as though they don't know their own business.
