Pros

The company has great ideals and you can tell that members are passionate about what they do. It is great if you stick with it and invest the time. The contests and prizes are also amazing! It is all independent so you can work as little or as much as you would like.

Cons

Some consultants or directors can be pushy, you have to be in order to do well. Great if you want to, but it felt awkward and a little to car salesman for my taste.

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.
