Pros

- Friendly coworkers - Management positions appear to make high 6 figure salaries

Cons

- Long hours, most of the work is done late in to the evening. Appointments are set at one hour intervals from 2:00-8:00pm at peoples homes. - Extreme wear and tear on your vehicle from driving all over the place frequently. - You have to buy all your own supplies, business cards, gas, etc. Try to get you to write it off as business expense, but there are limits to how much you can claim on taxes. - You have to pay your taxes as a 1099 like a personal business. - They have a highly scripted sales pitch where they want you to convince the person that they can afford something your selling. You have to memorize it and play videos on your laptop at points during the sales pitch to try to convince these people to buy from you. - They want you to join a union when you sign paperwork to work with them. I personally am not a fan of modern day labor unions. They are not all they are cracked up to be. - Possibility of going to dangerous neighborhoods at night to make sales. NOT a good idea this day and age!

Pros

ZERO, what a scam!!! I'm astonished to see that they are still around!!

Cons

The fact that I put in 3-4 months of hard work, long hours and never saw a dime. This was my first job out of college, years ago and unfortunately at the time I was just excited to have a job. Total scam, the 4 week "training" period went on for months. A terrible, terrible "job" don't do this, it's sure to waste your time and leave you utterly disappointed!!

Pros

Good place to learn about sales at your own expense not theirs.

Cons

6 day work week. self employed. But they micro manage you as if they were paying you a salary. They want you to be a walking telemarketer for them requiring you to lean a script "verbatim" other wise you are out. They treat you as a novice when you many have more experience than they do. Aka they want to control you but not pay you a salary to do so. If you leave they keep your accounts. You need to book appointments in their office not yours. They tape your phone calls and read your computer at will.
