Didn't see ROI

Pros

- great products - learned a lot about skin care and makeup - learned some good marketing and sales strategies

Cons

- encountered some really nasty ladies, including several Directors who seemed to think they were God's gifts to the universe and that they didn't need to do the same kinds of courtesies they'd expect from consultants. - be prepared to work extremely hard, spend a LOT, and not necessarily break even on your investment. AND be told it's just that you didn't work hard enough.
