Pros

In this economic climate, I would only recommend this job to recent college graduates who are still supported by their families.

Cons

To be successful, you must work evening and weekends, while making at least 200 prospecting phone calls per week. Your odds of being successful in this career, characterized by heavy atrition rate, are less than 50%.
