      Pros

      Really great people, great atmosphere, great learning experience.

      Cons

      Didn't believe in what i did, hated the way they pushed me to do business with family, hated the cold-calling, hated the fact that they wanted me to come up with my own list of names.

      Internship with easy cash.

      Pros

      They have a great training program. They really allow you to get a sense of the business as an intern before and they actually PAY you, which is great. There is no minimum number of hours to be in the office but you do get $100 a week easy just for listening for an hour and a half every Monday. I didn't sell one product throughout the internship, and left with $1000 easy. That paid for spring break. I also liked how helpful they are throughout the internship, making sure your on track. It looks great on my resume as well.

      Cons

      They put alot of pressure on you to sell sell sell, which is difficult if your balancing college and the internship. Alot of times I would not know my school schedule ahead of time to see if I could miss a class to meet with a client. They also put alot of pressure on me to take a life insurance policy out on myself. I have no income other than my allowance so financially, I could not afford it. This upset them and they stressed the point that I can't sell something I don't own, which is true. I left clean and clear of a committment.
