Pros

Sales experience and client relationships

Cons

This is was a horrible experience they do not know how to run an office. They kept hiring new people and not focusing on the new reps that already had. I watched 6 people quit within 1 year that just got hired. Most new people only last about 3 months then they quit. The pay is not good. They will work you like a dog, they will tell you “you don’t want it bad enough” after working 70 hours that week. Bad experience do not work here i promise it’s bad!

As a company that really strives to build and develop people, we are sorry to hear you had a negative experience. Without being argumentative, we do like to take the opportunity when relevant to point out to any potential reader’s feedback that is factually incorrect. While we appreciate feedback of any variety, it is also important to be factual: - We do not expect 70 hour workweeks from our new partners. In general, this is not our management style. It is TRUE that many of the people we attract choose to work very hard in their first years of building their clientele. Our belief is that if we help people develop goals for the life they want to build, and help them develop an activity plan to accomplish those goals, they will use both their work ethic and their efficiency/creativity to figure out how to achieve them on a monthly basis. While it does take hard work to get your business off the ground here, it is not our culture to enforce a specific hourly requirement. Thank you again for leaving your comments.

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.
