Pros

You don't need any industry experience. You can make decent money.

Cons

They will chew you up and spit you out. The benefits are well below industry average--PTO is only 10 days, which includes sick time, and they will dock you for every minute missed--and the medical insurance is expensive. You're expected to work more than 40 hours a week, plus do "team" activities outside of work hours, which usually include copious amounts of drinking. The people are very cliquey, so if you are not one of "them", get ready for high school attitudes. No real opportunity for advancement--you can be in "recruiting" (read: sales) or a "sales manager," but there is very little real difference, and that is it. Lots of employees straight out of college and a very immature environment overall. Their business model is stuck in about 1998.

Pros

Family environment, good people, a lot of community events. Great place to get your feet wet in sales or recruiting without a ton of pressure really as long as u show up and try. But not a good place for longevity as there isn't much of a path for growth as a company or leaders to take them to the next level.

Cons

Lack of organization leadership is hindering growth. No real plan, no real metrics to shoot for, no real structure for success. It's all about how u fit in to their religion or if you get cozy with a couple tenured members then you are golden. Otherwise you won't get training or skills for success, basically a random luck of the draw on making calls and hoping to have opportunities. You can be demoted multiple times, quit, and then be brought back at a higher level of u know certain people in the company. Or u can be highly talented, not involved in their religious aspects as a company and u probably will be pushed out the door. Upper management doesn't take feedback well unfortunately.
