Pros

Company vehicle and paid gas. Get to meet a lot of people and visit some cool residences. Deploy from your house, no need to go work at retail locations daily.

Cons

No time to take a lunch break (eat while you drive) you are expected to be on-time and your schedule never takes drive distances and traffic into account. Long hours salaried, work overtime no compensation. Work around 60 hours a week including "Days Off" (typical day is 12 to 14 hours only get paid for 8) A lot of pressure to sale $20k a week so you have to convince people to buy stuff they don't need instead of providing real advise, in the comfort of their home! Majority of people need to buy small cheap items ( $200 or less ) so its hard to reach weekly goals. Numbers are pushed to a point that is ridiculous. This is an hourly job, not commission yet you are expected to work like your life depends on getting every single penny out of each customer. You are responsible to meet your goals even if you are on vacation! ( expected to work while on vacation and days off) No demand for the Advisor services in certain markets, as some stores are not sending requests or promote the Advisor's availability. IOt might be hard in certain cities to make it and not get reprimanded for not meeting your goals.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
