Pros

You are able to open your own franchise with no start up costs. Able to set your own schedule. They will say you can make unlimited pay based on work ethic.

Cons

Only way to succeed is to move into established office or take over assets. Otherwise, you are not going to make it. You will be one of the cogs in the machine that lets some future FA succeed, while you move to a different job. You do the hard work, they fire you becuase you started with no assets, then they bring in a newbie to take over the fruits of your years of hard labor.

Pros

EDJ gives you complete freedom to do what you want to run your business. As long as your numbers are good you are free to take time off when needed. You can go months without hearing from anyone in the corporate office.

Cons

They make you go through some corporate training at headquarters for a couple weeks and then get some certain number to keep your job and then the support pretty much stops. If you get in good with your regional leader or if you know someone you can get a goodknight from you will be okay, if you start from scratch its a very tough hill to climb.
