Business Outlook
Pros
Pleasant work environment. Potential for above average earning. Satisfaction in assisting families to arrange future cemetery and funeral requirements whereby they locked in major costs, Unaffected by economic conditions.
Cons
Family owned; so many of best jobs went to family members, some of whom quite incompetent. Nature of the work often depressing.. Involved working evenings and weekends. Constant turnover in personnel. As remuneration was 100% commission there was always pressure to sell more. Sales leads undependable. Sales reps with highest volume tended to have highest RATE of contract cancellations as local management appeared to encourage overly aggressive sales presentations.
