Pros
It’s a challenging environment in which to develop intrapersonal skills each day. The people around me call on me to level up constantly to show up for them and myself. The personal growth journey this industry navigates you through develops grit and character. I have a support system in my team that I am forever grateful for
Cons
It’s really hard. I was told it was hard, but I underestimated the difficulty of facing a daily onslaught of rejection. People aren’t nice and don’t know what I’ve been through when I knock on their door. The people I work with expect me to be the best version of myself and that’s hard to do when I’m feeling down or not myself. Commission based is a difficult journey as you learn how to develop the skill set to earn your checks
