Not a Lot of Field Support High/Inequitable Sales Goals Worked a Lot of Nights/Weekends(Especially If You Inherit Little Assets) High Family Insurance Premiums and Deductible Lot of Out-Of-Pocket Expenses(If You Want To Stay In Business) Behind On Online Advertising Prospecting Isn't Working Like It Might Have Used To They Tell You They Supplement Your Income Until You Build Your Business- truth is, you need to be exceeding expectations to get the milestone bonuses(and if you have high sales goals, you're going to work your butt off to meet that) People Are Adverse To Investing Right Now-Lot Of Rejection It's ALL About The Numbers

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
