Pros
In this economy it is a job. You do get to work out of your home and schedule your own appointments. They do let you purchase product at 50% off which is supposed to be for customer samples but they do let you purchase for your own personal use such as for Xmas gifts or parties.
Cons
After 3 days of training in Atlanta, GA you are given one day in the office to call customers and schedule appointments which is not enough time as most customers need several calls. You must document every minute of your time which is to be faxed daily to your manager. You must have a minimum of 3 scheduled calls and 6 to 8 cold calls a day. You are expected to have a sale from each of the 3 scheduled appointments and are expected to sign up a mininum of 1 to new customers a week. You are not given any office time and must spend 8 hours a day in the field. You must have 12K a month in sales before you are paid comission. You must purchase your own samples to show customers. You provide your own computer, car, gas and cell phone but are given a monthly stipend to help off set the costs. The territorys are large and overnight travel is required. You are given $50 a night for hotel and meals which of course is not enough to cover your costs. It is implied that you will work weekends or evenings as no time is given during the day to look at emails or reports.
