Don’t even go for an interview

Pros

Hard to think of any...Good earning potential if you’re willing to work hard for it and give up your life.

Cons

Management seem to have no personality or feelings towards anyone who works there. They view salespeople as slaves. They can’t keep a simple sales strategy without having to change it every 5 minutes. Promise international travel, you’d have to be lucky to be offered it though. No assistance if you’re struggling. Poor starter training. Interview is a lie. They even pay people to write a good review on here to hide the truth.

Pros

Everyone is really nice and helpful. Their commission structure is really good as is their training program. You have the opportunity to travel, make great connections and learn new skills.

Cons

If you want to make money, you have to work hard. You won't make much money unless you put effort into your work but then again, that's the case for any job if you want to be successful.
