Pros

opportunity to grow big as fast as you want. self employed, you make your own schedule. sales directors are very driven to take you high. if you became a director you will be provided with a vehicle as long as you keep working. they are very discipline and devoted, they teach you that if you want something you have to work for it otherwise you don't get to enjoy all the benefits that you can give yourself.

Cons

time consuming and recruiting is sometimes difficult.
