Pros

You will build your clientele quickly.

Cons

The base pay was $8.25 an hour plus a measly 38% commission. So you need to work like a robot in order to have a decent check. Could never get the products we needed when ordering through the company. Horrible hours. Horrible turnover. Glad I left.
