Pros

You can develop you sales skills and it will put you in uncomfortable situations that will allow you to grow as a person.

Cons

What they promise you is far from the truth. Employers will not care about the experience as much as they say they will, the money is bad and they will tend to fire people before they turn a profit and use their work give to the top performers. They say it isn't a pyramid scheme because they frame the definition of a pyramid scheme in a very specific way but it is. Very bad company to get involved with.

Pros

They are no pros to working here.

Cons

These people are awful. Worked here 10 years ago and I still think about how bad it was. First off they manipulated me into taking the job and then when I got there I was feeling pretty paranoid and sketched out by their behavior. By the end of the first training they were openly picking on me because I wasn’t participating. From that point on I had lost any trust in the staff as they were making everything about me. Some kind of bullying campaign was being done against me. They were putting stuff in my food and water to mess with me. The second training the Vp was talking about how much he hated me using indirect terms. Such as “I hate PowerPoint” but he was referring to me. In hindsight I should have just left and quit but I guess I didn’t want to just let them win. In the end they quit on me and basically went against their company values such as relationships are everything (didn’t talk to me), results matter (less time focused on me would have gotten results) , and never give up ( I never quit but they did).
