Pros

The training program is great. They give you all of the knowledge you need to be successful. You get reimbursed for your licensing and test fees after 30 days. The starting salary is good and the atmosphere is very laid-back. It's also great that the earning potential is in your hands. If you work hard you will be successful and earn a high income.

Cons

You are required to stay late 2 nights a week when you first start but it really isn't that bad. The stress can be a little high at times but that is the case with any commission based job.

Pros

You can make good money here.

Cons

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.
