Pros
If you work hard, and have the right work ethic the compensation will certainly show for it. Coworkers are all very close knit and it feels very much like a family. Upper management DM's and higher are all great, very friendly and will push you to meet your expectations. If you don't want to work for your recognition, and be competitive in your sales then this is not the job for you; as a property manager and KTP there is a lot of responsibility and some stress involved but it takes the right mindset to handle and if you love helping people learn about a company you believe in then it is a piece of cake. There are yearly bonus incentives based on sales numbers which are generous if you are within the top percentile of sales within your region, as well as yearly raises also based on performance.
Cons
Sometimes the customers are very difficult to deal with, even as a property manager and KTP (which is as high as you can go as a field associate) there is no power to make any decisions; everything must be escalated to DM for approval. There is room to move up through the field but after KTP you're at a dead end. There is no such thing as hiring from within, and you cannot advance after you make it to key training professional, which results in a somewhat high turnover rate for retaining valuable employees that the company should not want to lose.
