Don’t fall for their trap

Pros

Training is fun. You get to meet some amazing people, both coworkers and clients. It can be an exciting job when you score a sale.

Cons

Don’t do it. I fell for their sales pitch and they said I had all these great qualities (just from looking at my resume posted on a job site). I am quitting soon because there are not enough leads to justify working on commission. Managers are snake oil salesmen. They make money off your hard work while you get a small percentage. You have to pay $600 for training and that’s all they need from you. It’s a part of the plan - get gullible people to pay for training and other licensing fees and then it doesn’t matter if you sell or not, they’ve already made a good ROI on you. I haven’t even made that money back despite working my tail off these last two months, so I will find a real job with a salary, a job in which a company is not blatantly trying to take advantage of me and the other agents.

Pros

There are no "pros" at all. A terribly sad excuse for a career. Hopefully they get investigated and exposed for the scam artists that they truly are.

Cons

Complete and total rip off. Glorified Amway rep. Scam...only "hire" folks to get to their family and friends. A total unpaid joke of an experience. DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!
