Pros

- Half off products. - Flexible hours. - Be your own boss.

Cons

- Pyramid Scheme. - They talk you into buying in bulk so the people above you get richer and you are stuck with a bunch of inventory that you cannot sell. - They lie about the return policy. They say you have a year to return it but when you call they will say, "It's actually only 364 days," and they will not let you return it.
