Pros

- Half off products. - Flexible hours. - Be your own boss.

Cons

- Pyramid Scheme. - They talk you into buying in bulk so the people above you get richer and you are stuck with a bunch of inventory that you cannot sell. - They lie about the return policy. They say you have a year to return it but when you call they will say, "It's actually only 364 days," and they will not let you return it.

Pros

Seeing our Sales Force succeed. Great benefits. Beautiful building. Good history. Working the building with our Protective Services team makes me feel in a safe environment.

Cons

Leaders are scared of new blood. They don't train, teach, lead or guide. Men seem to get the promotions more than women.
