Pros

You get to be your own boss and essentially start your own business. If you have no experience and seem like you'd be a good fit they'll consider you. If they hire you they'll pay for you to get fully certified and go through a training program. They start you off with a base salary that tapers off over 5 years as commissions are expected to grow.

Cons

The training program seems rushed and it's easy to feel unprepared once you actually start doing the job. Also, starting your own business is really difficult.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
