Pros

-If you are willing to work hard and are self-motivated, you can control your own income and career -CAREER: this job is great for those seeking a long-term career -Independence, autonomy: running a territory is like running your own business. You make decisions that directly impact your success. - Excellent sales training and support - Work schedule is cyclical: many hours during the school year, lighter hours during school breaks - Family-owned business: tight-knit, caring, fun people with which to work - You get to work with students. If you enjoy teaching and influencing young people, this is very rewarding - Work from home, so no cubicles! - Variety-- every day is different; every school is different. - Wear many hats: teacher, counselor, journalist, sales person, marketer, business person, etc. - Develop great relationships with yearbook advisers and students - Walsworth provides rewards and incentives that make reaching your goals fun and worthwhile - Requires balance between sales and service (variety)

Cons

- Work from home: this can be challenging if you are not self-motivated - Drive time: there is a lot of time driving - Independence: while there is a lot of company support, on a daily basis you work solo. You've got to be okay working alone/being alone - This job is a CAREER. You have to be committed to putting the time in to build a territory. Think long-term, not short-term payoff. - Hours: during the school year, you need to work 50+ hours a week. (on school breaks, you can work less, but you don't actually have a summer vacation like teachers) - Balance between sales and service: you have to do both. So if you are all about selling, but no service you won't succeed. If you are all about service but no sales you won't succeed.
