Pros

Good salary plus commissions, good training at the local office. Support excellent, people good to work with and for.

Cons

Commissions are low--you have to sell $10,000 per week to get a 10% commission. Downward sliding scale to $1500. I was told when interviewed that when we got out to do door to door it would be 1PM to 4:30PM, and then we would be back to the office to make calls. Turns out that you are expected to start as early as 11AM and go until sunset. Door to door is what killed it for me. That and working those kinds of hours Monday through Saturday. You will have no life.

Pros

- Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

Cons

- Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
