Pros

Opportunity to live and work in some great locations, *potentially* earn some very good money and have a large chunk of your rent paid for you.

Cons

In essence, it is an excellent opportunity for the right individual. The only down side is said individual has to be utterly without scruple, prepare to be bored senseless and make cold call after call to unsuspecting individuals around the world. In the office before 6am for 80% of the scheme, hours before anyone else, making 4.5 hours worth of cold calls per day and given no stimulation whatsoever. There is no actual learning about the industry or products, simply training so you can make continuous cold calls. The management team are very 'hands off' - you don't receive regular updates on your progress save when they simply look at a graph and generalise. You will be asked to work 12/13 hour days and do 2/3 hours of homework every evening on top of this.
