Pros

Positive people to be around. Great products. Fairly easy to sell if you use the product to meet the minimum order requirement. Integrity, high moral people around you. Great incentives, trips, cars, jewelry

Cons

access to a strong upline is essential for most to really make good money. Lots of rejection. Recruiting is essential to making over $1k/ month consistently. A strong up ine is having a director in your unit above you being a strong recruiter herself and willing to mentor or teach you the ropes. A large majority of consultants were recruited by friends who only have one director above them. if you are not part of a national unit with an active upline, it will be very hard to do this business. When a director quits above you or above her- 2nd tier- you are left with no one to help you. At that point it is difficult and highly discouraged for you to join another unit. It involves you quitting and starting over which you can only do after quitting for one year. You may lose all your customers.
