Pros

So much fun if you actually invest time and effort! You meet lots of people and get to have fun building relationships and making money. You have To be consistent but it's a job so that should be a given. You also get tons of fun training and inspiration is all around you

Cons

Being your own boss is hard at times. It can be difficult to set a schedule and make yourself stick to it. You have to be the one to hold yourself accountable.

Pros

The people who are left are lovely

Cons

You are expected to perform outside your job description. Promotions are nearly impossible. Layoffs are now part of the culture. The "pink bubble" only applies to you when they need you. Once they declare you disposable, their attitude towards you drastically changes. When you get laid off, their package is pittance.
