Pros

Tiny salary paid while studying for 7,66, and insurance in own home. Free trip to Arizona if you don't mind 5 days of constant role playing of sales scenerios , I mean training. Training on par with any fine Amway sales training program. Makes it easy to transition into vacuum sales career. Endless meetings, conference calls, and busy work combined with the hours needed to actually work will provide endless joy to anyone with a lot of time and needs a way to spend it. Also, if you like an extremely structured environment and do not want to think about things too much, you will appreciate the company and all it has to offer.

Cons

At first the cult like atmosphere was just annoying. But after a while it was just bizarre. Person after person embracing this hokey "outdated" sales culture (I don't think they even realized they had already finished the first glass of koolaid and were on their second) was very Moonieish. Independent thought is not encouraged. The worst is doorknocking. Knocking on some strangers door in a big city does not usually result in someone in turn buying a bond from you. But on the upside if you ever decide to come back next week to run for office or sell Avon products you will know which houses to miss.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
