Pros

You can be very successful. If you don't mind being mislead when needed, enjoy manipulating people, contributing to a pyramid pay scheme and using people (including your "team" and clients) like tools, but work hard; you'll get all the help you could ever want.

Cons

If you're determined to to have integrity and your sole drive is to truly help people without being a stereotypical sleazy salesperson; you can still be successful, but don't expect help and be prepared to work even harder. If you don't, there are plenty of warm bodies stacked behind you.
