Pros

I like that I am learning a great deal. My modeling skills have been sharpened and I have become adept at reading financial statements. They offer a decent vacation allowance and the pay is relatively acceptable. People are generally bright and it is good to be around people who are competent.

Cons

It is a three year program - and you are out. THere is little room for advancement. It is not a pleasant thought to know that you gave 3 years and will now be thrown out into a bad job market. By the third year the job gets boring and repetitive as higher level tasks are withheld.

Pros

some flexability, people really do need the products. You do have the opportunity to "own" your own business.

Cons

Training was the worst I have seen at any job. The training manager was more worries about herself than doing a good job, had no knowledge of the products being sold and was a joke. Management changed every couple months. It does not make you feel good when you have three managers in a year. They talk about giving people leads but when they finally do, they are old, are not valid, or in areas you cannot even afford to drive to.
