Pros

You are your own boss. You are the business owner. Great tax benefits. You make your own schedule. Your success is solely your responsibility. So many great online training courses and also lots of meetings all over the states. Great support groups.

Cons

Relying on a customer base to make money. Having to keep inventory on hand to really be on top of your game to provide products to customers right away. Having a required about of $ you have to order in order to stay active.

Pros

The people who are left are lovely

Cons

You are expected to perform outside your job description. Promotions are nearly impossible. Layoffs are now part of the culture. The "pink bubble" only applies to you when they need you. Once they declare you disposable, their attitude towards you drastically changes. When you get laid off, their package is pittance.
