Business Outlook
Pros
Lots of opportunity in this career field as 93% of reps wash out in the first 6 months to a year. Ability to make good money, as long as you have a huge wealthy network. Offers the ability to set your own hours, IF you can last more than 3 years. Starting out is a grind which is why I rate it a 2.
Cons
"What have you done for me lately" attitude by partners at the office I worked for. Minimal training for those new to the industry or out of school which makes it extremely difficult to establish credibility in an extremely competitive landscape. Poor leadership shown by managers, "Book appointments and let me know if you want me to go with you" mentality. Out-dated presentation and approach to gaining clients.
