Pros

Salary and outside sales reps work from home office. The concepts is wonderful for local business owners (Reason why I'm sticking it out).

Cons

Bad Management, Unrealistic Goals, Weekly/Daily Changes, Never know where and what your supposed to be focusing on, rules changes based on who you are. Commission Structure is no good. Salary is good, but it's very hard to make commission (seem like your spinning your wheels constantly). Hard to get in and you really have to prove your abilities, one rough month and they treat you like you're not human and pretty much force you out within 30 days. If they showed their loyalty, I think people would stay and last longer. They show favoritism to the inside reps over the outside teams. I feel like they are getting very greedy and that is going to hurt them in the long run.
