Pros

Great continuing education videos available on new trends

Cons

District leaders are lazy and will tear apart the business you spend years building, 3 different bosses in three years, manage for minimum wage, the more time you spend you spend building business and developing staff the less you make, kind of a catch 22 especially if you ask for a raise and are told to be more productive.

Cons

• Poor management and retaliation for raising concerns • Unauthorized schedule changes with no notice • Unfair NCE pressure and write-ups despite strong sales performance • Micromanagement from 400+ miles away with no understanding of local conditions • High turnover due to bad communication and bullying
