Pros

You do get a bunch of nice closes that that tell you are free but you end up paying for them from each pay check

Cons

I hope you're comfortable stopping strangers on the street and asking them for their phone number because that is a huge part of the job. The hours are demanding (7am-7pm M-F). The compensation is poor. And management is incompetent. They want you to give up your life for this job so if you have a significant other or family you can forget about spending time with them because the job comes first.

Pros

Not only is there unlimited opportunity/commission, but there’s unlimited personal development. The leaders constantly are challenging me to think with principles, think big for my goals, and giving me resources to achieve those goals. The people I get to serve for my clients are to top division makers, influencers, and income earners in Austin and I’m honored that they trust us to serve them.

Cons

Building a business requires thinking big, thinking strategically, and getting out of my comfort zone. As with any business, the better you do the more problems you face and are challenges to solve.
