Pros

You set your own hours Meet really fantastic ladies Huge tax writes offs Discounted products for personal use Good support from others in the same business

Cons

Easy to get sucked into buying far too much product Have to sell a ton of product to start actually start netting money Pressure from your upline to buy more product Constantly changing products that leave you stuck with discontinued items that you can't sell All training, even weekly training meetings, has a fee Tax write offs don't make up for the money you lose trying to keep up with your inventory

Pros

Pay, benefits, were all top notch. They provide you with the golden handcuffs so you can't find another job that pays as well or that match the benefits.

Cons

poltical, political, political. No matter how good you are at your job, if someone doesn't like you, it's all down hill. Management does not protect employees but leave you hanging out to dry. Too many so called Christians at the company that do not know the meaning of the word! Moto is the Golden Rule, but in reverse, do unto others before they do it to you! Mean hateful management.
