Pros

Their is potential for a lot of upside in your compensation. Can be very fulfilling experience.

Cons

The first few years will be the most difficult possible and you will feel like quiting 5/7 days a week. This job require at least 80 hours of work a week; if you have a lot of family commitments this job may not be for you.

Pros

The dinners they send you to in the begining are top notch.

Cons

My training lasted for six months and included cold calling and walking door to door. Needless to say today's world doesn't work well with people knocking on thier door unexpected. In one instance the cops were called and I was swarmed by police because they thought I was scouting out the area even though I was in a suit and tie. Three months after getting my license I was terminated because I didn't hit my numbers even though I was meeting everyone I could, making phones calls and doing everything they asked including working 12 hour days including weekends.
