Pros

Benefits, 401k and match, some expenses, tons of flexibility. Great place to start up your sales experience most managers try to keep you happy in the beginning.

Cons

Not much training in the product. Poor ability to demonstrate the product and show prospects what they are buying. Many service issues and an underpaid overworked back office. Only compensated on the front end of a sale, no residuals and no incentive to keep clients. You almost benefit more to sign someone up for the service for 3 months and then have them cancel so you can get credit to sign them back up.

Pays less than most companies for similar work. Use to be known for no layoffs but that has now changed. Moving jobs to service centers in area where pay rate is less.
