Pros

If you work hard, the company will pay you well. It is a grind, but may be well worth it if you enjoy that environment.

Cons

Not really a con, but the price of the service is high because it is a "luxurious" product. This wasn't really a con because if you can sell the value of it correctly, the product sells itself.
