Pros

The dinners they send you to in the begining are top notch.

Cons

My training lasted for six months and included cold calling and walking door to door. Needless to say today's world doesn't work well with people knocking on thier door unexpected. In one instance the cops were called and I was swarmed by police because they thought I was scouting out the area even though I was in a suit and tie. Three months after getting my license I was terminated because I didn't hit my numbers even though I was meeting everyone I could, making phones calls and doing everything they asked including working 12 hour days including weekends.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
