Pros

So much fun if you actually invest time and effort! You meet lots of people and get to have fun building relationships and making money. You have To be consistent but it's a job so that should be a given. You also get tons of fun training and inspiration is all around you

Cons

Being your own boss is hard at times. It can be difficult to set a schedule and make yourself stick to it. You have to be the one to hold yourself accountable.

Pros

Great way to get out of your comfort zone and make some extra cash. I had a really great group of girls that I was on a team with.

Cons

There was a lot of fine print. At the beginning the reassured me that if I wanted to leave the company I could sell back my products at 90% of what I paid. When I left they dropped the bomb that products had to be less than a year old.

Pros

I love working here. I worked full-time at the corporate office. Wonderful work environment and people. Company truly values people. Lots of room for promotion/growth. Felt pay was more than fair. I left to stay home with my children. Would have not left otherwise.

Cons

There were a lot of meetings that sometimes felt unnecessary.
