Pros

there are no pros, unless u like spending more money then u make, they pay for no gas, no medical, no nothing. u only get paid when someone above u gets paid. eventually they will want u to bring people in. being the only way to "move up" btw the pay for moving up is a lie and not even close to what they say. the person getting paid is told to lie so people "don't miss out on the opportunity" when they here the truth.

Cons

hey new people there u ever wonder why they turn the music up so high and u can not get 2 words in with someone else who is new without getting interrupted? it's so u can not form the idea together that this place is a scam, and u r never sure because there is no one to talk to about it unless they r new, but u will never get them alone anyways. don't go to your team leader and tell them because they will also tell u lies. if they want good employees they would pay benefits, they more want people who will believe w/o question, u can't live on hope of the future, just look at some of the people who work there, even the people who claim they "make a lot of money". 2 things u can't hide in life for very long, being stupid and being poor
