Pros

You are your own boss. Your earning potential is limited to what you want it to be. The harder you work, they more you can make. And you help people understand how money works and help them to become debt free and financially independent. They offer people some great products, and help people get money back and protect what they have. You then get a commission from the companies your clients do business with.

Cons

Recruit, recruit, recruit. Genistar is akin to Primererica. It is a proven system of MLM. For me the focus became less and less about helping families in need and more about recruiting and find 5 star families who were 25-50, kids in the home, working, home owners, and ?? So much for people really struggling.

Pros

Senior management are all great guys. I've personally received loads of great coaching from both Bob and Jeff (CEOs) on multiple occasions. The structure of the company is geared towards people that want to be their own boss, not work to make someone else a fortune! I'm now one of those people that annoys their friends by saying that self-employed is the way to go! Haha This is the only company I've worked for where sales representatives promote themselves. Earning promotions is based completely on merit and the guidelines for making it to the next step are spelled out clearly from the beginning. The best part? The people in my "up-line" all want me to succeed! The Executive Vice Presidents of the company are constantly looking for and coaching new, hardworking, ambitious people to come up and share room at the top.

Cons

For some people, the necessity for hard work is a bit of a roadblock. It's a challenge for sure, but the potential compensation is virtually limitless. It can also be somewhat competitive - not in a bad or cut-throat way, but more of a friendly, work-out mate, kind of way
