Pros

Changing lives was a nice change in the regular feel of a sales job. No bones about it...the pressure of a sales job brings the pay of a sales job though it also comes with a deep sense of satisifaction

Cons

Irrational objectives and irrational pressure. There are administrative departments in place that "call the shots" on your sales to determine if they will count for you or not.

Pros

Great job flexibility with work from home and travel, set your own hours and schedule, ability to take on big jobs even at a young age or with little prior experience

Cons

Work from home so do not have a ton of peer interaction, seems like the workload is never ending sometimes, salaries should be better for all the work that most employees do

Not a good company.

Pros

The students are usually great, and the product (courses) are actually quite good and in some respects easy to deliver (very scripted)

Cons

Disorganized. Buggy technology. No benefits and you don't really get paid hourly what it seems you will, because you only get paid well for teaching and there are a lot of hours outside of teaching. I worked there for years with no benefits and no path to make a career of it, although I did my job well and expressed interest in doing so. Your pay rate is based on student feedback with impossibly high standards and very little support to figure out how to get better feedback. Then if for some reason your ratings slip, you get a demotion. Everything is very convenient for the management.
