Pros

1. 5 day work week. 2. Health benefits. 3. A/C 4. Dealing with customers.

Cons

1. Terrible training. 2. Managers too stressed out and too busy to help when needed. 3. Commission very quickly; most large accounts held by people who've been there awhile and it takes time to earn the trust needed. 4. Huge turnover rate with extravagant expectations for new people who were poorly trained. 5. Take a vacation and lose customers and commission from others eager to take them from you. 6. Totally non-collaborative work environment. This is not a team environment at all, dog eat dog.

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
