Pros

You do have a decent opportunity to make $80k within the first year. The company does provide you with about 1 appointment. The rest is all on you. If you are super self motivated and willing to grind out a bunch ot on average $300 rips per sale you can make a living. It's a great job for an entry level sales person. A good stepping stone to get some sales experience.

Cons

This job has a very high turnover rate. There is nothing easy about it. The turnover rate is so high that you are constantly taking the same trainings over and over again. That's if you even make it that long. When I left the company the culture of micro management was getting pretty bad even if you already had a succesful routine. Top producers chained to a desk when they could have been running appointments and making sales.

Pros

there really are not any to speak of, unless you prefer not being in the typical retail environment this may be the job for you.

Cons

Be prepared to do something that your college education never taught you how to do, door knock. Yes, this company and others like it still believe that knocking on doors will open the door to a sale. If you knock on enough of them you will eventually get one, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. Be ware you may not be told this on your interview but your ability to receive company leads which are your life blood depends on you generating at least five sales on your own a la door knocking and cold calling.
