Pros

They spend a lot of time & money training you how to talk to people. Train you how to ask open ended questions and engage people in conversation.

Cons

This job is not for everyone. DO NOT APPLY if you think you might not like door knocking. They only touch on this in the interview process, but it is everyday for 2-5 years. Performance expectations are set so that you can't keep up with them in the beginning of building your business. Make sure you have someone with a few hundred thousand to start you off. After getting licensed you need to be able to work 7am-8pm in order to keep up with the work load. They set the expectation to work while you are at home with your family. Product training is very poor.

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
