Pros

Great office culture Fun to not be in an office all day make you own schedule

Cons

The company promises 100k your first year but fails to inform you that only 25% of the company even earns that much. In real situations you are looking at between 30-40 your first year. And thats before health insurance, 401K, clothing allowance, and all of your expenses for doing business (which you are not reimburse for). If you do not start off strong out of the gate, its you not them. It can't be that your leadership is laking or that the trusted "system" is a joke. You didn't work hard enough is the common response EARLY MORNINGS LATE NIGHTS complete commission selfish leadership a base that won't even keep the lights on

Pros

Not only is there unlimited opportunity/commission, but there’s unlimited personal development. The leaders constantly are challenging me to think with principles, think big for my goals, and giving me resources to achieve those goals. The people I get to serve for my clients are to top division makers, influencers, and income earners in Austin and I’m honored that they trust us to serve them.

Cons

Building a business requires thinking big, thinking strategically, and getting out of my comfort zone. As with any business, the better you do the more problems you face and are challenges to solve.
