It is a fun job to do but not one that generates a lot of money unless you are a good recruiter.

Pros

It is something you can do at home and be your own boss. Activities are a lot of fun and you can make friends. The products are great to use for yourself and for gifts. You can make money if you are willing to invest the time and money to recruit and buy products.

Cons

They change product lines frequently and add limited edition products so it is difficult to keep up with your inventory. You often end up with discontinued items that are no longer in their catelogs. You have to invest a lot of money upfront to buy inventory and supplies as well as a lot of time to find contacts, make appointments, do classes and most of all recruit! Your life will never be the same!
