Incredible Upside

Pros

Survive and thrive. Do you own your book or does your employer own you? This company has an incredible culture, great training program and everyone seems willing to help. This career path is not for the faint of heart. Commission based. It’s what you make of the opportunity.

Cons

A focus on commission but again if you’re willing to work you should want a commission based opportunity because you are in control. Not the employer.

Pros

There is a comprehensive training program for people new to this career path. The management team is open to providing support and answering questions even if they are not necessarily your direct manager. The office environment is supportive of wanting everyone to succeed as a team.

Cons

The compensation structure more variable which could be difficult if you are relying on a consistent paycheck but is not really a con if you know how to plan ahead and manage your expenses.
