Pros

-Able to work with very influential people in your city -Learn to grow your own business

Cons

-Long hours. Starting out I was in the office from 7-5:30 then went home and worked from 8-12. -Cult-like environment that can feel very uneasy and makes it hard to connect to anyone else because everyone repeats the same jargon -No salary after two years

Our opportunity, which is more entrepreneurial in nature than most, does have its share of hard work and long hours at certain times and seasons, especially when starting out. We do not expect 60-80 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. We do not have a base salary. What we have is a commission-based opportunity supported by a monthly support structure that is designed to gradually decrease over 24 months as the sales professional gains more skills and clients. This structure is communicated heavily up front. We appreciate your comments and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
