Pros

*Products *Remote *Flexibility of schedule *Autonomy (but also a con - not enough support when needed. You’re expected to “come with a solution” when you ask for help) *No weekend required

Cons

This is not recruiting, this is a straight sales role. You will spend all your time sourcing passive candidates on LinkedIn, Indeed, etc. and making 100+ cold calls multiple days a week convincing people you have a life changing, uncapped earning, be your own boss, own your own business unicorn opportunity only to offer them a commission only, 1099, no benefits, no guaranteed income sales role. You are measured on quantity of candidates not quality. You are expected to mass recruit anyone who gives you a “yes”. You are overpromising something that can’t be delivered and are setting people up to fail! There is no recruitment real strategy, just sale the opportunity to anyone who will listen. When you first are hired, leadership will drown you in compliments and flattering of how amazing you are and how you are an asset and recruiting is the “lifeblood” of the business! The day you resign you will not hear any of that. They’ll let you leave and replace you with the next person.
