Pros

Flexible hours, base pay, good kick off program. You don't have to pay to play.The company is pro military.

Cons

You do not get leads. Any sales you make will be from personal contacts. You are not allowed to sell to anyone with GHI under $40,000 or active duty under E5. Get good at obtaining and meeting with referalls, it is the only way your business will grow. They do not invest much in marketing, other than hiring people with good looking networks. Once your personal well runs dry, you have no leads to turn to. This usually results in the advisor looking for another company to work for within a couple of years.
