Pros

Little or no commute; occasional overtime.

Cons

Pay is far below baseline standard, Commission schedule changes all the time, especially in the case of rewrites. In many cases, counselors are charged back and commissions are taken from them or greatly reduced. Always a new reason from a specific individual at home office as to why a commission is reduced or not paid. It is a revolving door with staff there. Of late, the management team at one of the locations is the most corrupt I have ever seen. They love to encourage high sales volume and do not deliver on promises. They have buried individuals in the wrong plots on many occasions, failed to order memorial markers or had gross misspellings, failed to post payments properly. The Office Manager is highly unprofessional and repeatedly talks about clients and colleagues in a negative fashion.

Pros

If you work with pleasant people and a great manager, as I do, it's a blessing. Helping and caring for families can be rewarding.

Cons

Pay is horrible. My job title has different salaries, depending on where I work. I would make less money working closer to the nearest city and would earn a dollar more if I worked further away. If they advertise a salary on the internet, they will negotiate with you to be paid at a lower salary, despite advertising differently. Corporate doesn't seem to care very much about their "front line" workers. Corporate puts an insane amount of stress on managers and in the long run will cost the company having good, dependable employees.
