Pros

Work/Life Balance (1 appt a day, gives you plenty of free time) Selling a great product that consumers have faith in

Cons

Favoritism among staff and management (the opportunity you will actually get is very limited) No Diversity! Poor customer service for your clients (won’t get any help when issues happen and have to deal with plenty of angry customers) Bonus Structure that pins all the sales rep against each other instead of rewarding individual achievements Commission structure that will inevitably rip you off when you realize what a joke the place is and quit.
