Great training and discount, but high pressure environment

Pros

The discount is amazing. They do great training.

Cons

Don’t let them know you don’t plan to be there forever. They will push you out. Sales goal is hard to meet. You aren’t allowed to have any sort of off day even if it is because your significant other has cancer.
