Pros
I am only filling out the pros because I cannot submit my post without doing so. I guess one pro is the fact that in an MLM company by theory you should be able to move up but it is not at all easy not rewarding because there will always be someone above you that you are making money for.
Cons
This is strictly an MLM “business” aka pyramid selling. You WILL NOT MAKE MONEY but rather make money for whoever is above you. Their revenue is pulled by their sales people or “entry level managers” ( or whatever they tell you). You will work strictly on “commission based wages” which means you will hardly see any genuine profit from what you sell. They only way you can make a decent income is by bringing in people under you, which is how the pyramid forms. Although this form of selling is not deemed illegal (yet) it is a huge waste of time and a pathetic business startup; it’s basically short cutting your way into the industry to make money. It’s sad because they pull in new comers and take advantage of them. they make you believe that you have an opportunity to grow within an ethical respectable business but will never include you on what the business truly is. To make sure you are in-fact being interviewed for a legitimate position (not some made up high level role that will change) ASK QUESTIONS. The first red flag to a company like this is they are very vague and have a scripted like interview response. Ask firmly about wages, the history of the company, who their direct clients are, and what the exact job duties and responsibilities are. In every position you take there will be training, but in no legitimate respectable company do they only tell you your title you will be selected for in “orientation”. Also, notice the questions you are being asked: Are they professional? Are they interested in your prior work experience/credentials? Are they taking note of your references? MOST IMPORTANTLY are they answering YOUR questions? Is there office space ? An actual receptionist? And operating business licenses you can see hanging on the wall? Remember if you feel in your gut somethings wrong DONT overlook it. Most importantly if indeed you do find out they’re not an honest company report and share it doesn’t happen to someone else. These “marketing strategies” may work for the owner but it only does so by overworking and exploiting people. They make money by not providing a salary or wage.
