Pros
You will have the opportunity to help people and that is rewarding. You can make a decent income if you work very hard. There is no commute and no need to purchase an expensive wardrobe.
Cons
You can't spend as much time helping people as you would like because you are under the gun to make sales. If a family has no money you can't afford to spend a lot of time talking to them. You will have to work very hard. If you think working from home is a cushy arrangement, Think again. It takes 6 months to a year to make your on target earnings. Don't expect to be the exception to that rule. You are asked to flex your time. This means you are unlikely to get 2 full days a week off and you will have to work at least 1 night a week until 9PM. I have worked many a 13 hour day and that's not an exaggeration. work/life balance is a pipe dream. If you don't obsess over this job, especially in the first year, you will not be successful. They used to ask for 2.5 hours of phone time/day understanding that we work on average 2 hours off the phone for every hour on. Now they are demanding 4 hours of phone time. There is a ton of documentation, writing, emailing etc. You would need to be a machine to consistently accomplish 4 hours of talk time in an 8 hour day. There is a pretense that you don't need to work overtime when you won't be successful if you don't. If you take a vacation you will struggle the next month.
