Pros

Freedom to grow your own business. The net worths of the higher ups are all too eager to tell you that within a year, you will be making at least 6 figures. They sell you a dream. Just with everything in life, only a few out of a hundred will fulfill those dreams. Do NOT work here full time unless you have a lot of capital to spare while you're making no money in the beginning

Cons

The cons severely outweigh the pros.... 1. If you google search "world financial group"... google automatically suggests adding "pyramid scheme". The company is obviously a legal organization, since multi level marketing is considered legal. Regardless, you have to rep a company that has a terrible reputation amongst several consumers 2. Depending on the branch/office/manager that hires you, you could be completely screwed, or be lucky. 3. Similar to #2, if you notice a lot of unintelligent people there (such as sales people that couldn't sell themselves out of a paper bag), you're in one of the bad offices- LEAVE 4. The commission percentage is very low in the beginning, which means that the first people you sell to, those commissions are enjoyed primarily by a manager who did nothing.

Pros

When it comes to making money it is all based on how well you do. Their is no one to hold you back or make you jump through hoops. There is no quota that you have to meet, and no pressure put on you. If you don't want to make money then that is up to you. You work whatever hours you want with no required office hours. The other great thing is you can do this part-time while you work at your current job.

Cons

You are considered an independent contractor, which means the only way to make money is to recruit and sell. And there are zero benefits. If you didn't have this 'con' then you wouldn't have the 'pro' of freedom

Pros

flexible schedule, excellent training, wonderful product line. Great for self motivated individuals who are not opposed to spending hour at a time cold calling.

Cons

Commission based business. Not for everyone. Too much emphasis on recruiting, and not enough on selling products. Requires cold calling.
