Pros

You make your own schedule from the beginning, They pay for all testing and classes, "unlimited" income

Cons

70-80 hours minimum starting if you're starting out with no assets. You have about a 5% chance of making it past 2-3 years if you're not given assets, office, or some cobination of the two. You can work 10x more than the guy given an office, but they'll be the hero because they're hitting numbers from trails while you're struggling and hoping for the next rollover.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
