Pros

You have flexibility in terms of what you do as you are essentially working in your own business, not as an employee. It allows you to blend your faith and career although those lines can often become blurry. If you are successful in your first 2-3 years there is good upside for a successful long term business. Chances are much better if you can partner with a seasoned rep who is willing to mentor you.

Cons

Lack of name recognition. Compensation plan is difficult to understand and, to a large extent, benefits established reps much more than newer ones. Although it is faith based, the company can often be overly conservative in it's approach to many things.

Pros

Would have been a good opportunity IF it went through.

Cons

BEWARE! They do not disclose a very long and tedious interview process. 3 interviews with a post interview call. Background check, credit check, amongst multiple items to complete in portal. Many emails to respond to. Speaking with 4+employees throughout the process. Did NOT disclose that start date was 3 months post job posting.
