Pros

Nice people. Neat Office. Organized. Flexible Schedule.

Cons

I assigned up for a marketing internship position and they didn't tell me the only marketing they do is telemarketing till I was on training. All interns are expected to do ONLY sales. The interns are expected to make at least 100 phone calls a day with your own cell phone. They gave the interns a long list of numbers that they already called too many times. They asked all interns to call people they are close with on the SECOND day of training, so they can sell insurance to them. Another thing the interns are expected to do is go out to find new clients on their own, but NO reimbursement for gas. There is NO hourly wage, NO paid training and 100% commission. There is training 4 days a week, including 6 hours on Mondays and 7AM training on Fridays. All interns are required to prepay $158 for a license and they want you have it before the training. You will not get that money back unless you finished the internship there.

Pros

Freedom to be your own boss, trips, bonuses, renewable income (instead of one time commission), career instead of just a job. FORTUNE 500 and a World's most Ethical Company. Great training (at least here in Wyoming) and a family mentality. Great family/work balance.

Cons

No base pay, can be a slow start at first, you have to be very organized and self-driven, have to be licensed in life and health to sell insurance (but my management help with the process).
