Pros

It's a place to learn high pressure sales & business skills

Cons

Everything else. Even if you are performing you will get low pay & treated badly. Management are filled with people that have the opposite type of personality that they demand in their new reps. They will yell at you, humiliate you, overwork you, then gaslight you when you try to be reasonable with them. Being pressured into working 70-80 hour weeks for $9 an hour average is not normal at all. The company has taken a huge nosedive the past few years for very good reason (despite them trying to fake their numbers on social media, the revenue data doesn't lie). 90% of new hires leave, the other 9% stay for a year to build themselves then they go find normal jobs

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.
