Pros

Flexible schedule and very good income opportunity. If you are a go-getter, this could be a very good position for you long-term. Great training program. Excellent accountability. Excellent product. Management is VERY willing to help in any way possible, which is also true about most of the experience reps in the office. GREAT people work for NMFN.

Cons

100% commission. They also do a poor job of letting you know what types of expenses are going to be incurred, and when they are going to take them out of your check. The people at NMFN definitely drink the company "kool aid" wayyyy too often. To them, there is no other place to work in the world that can offer what they can. Although their business model is tried and true, it is definitely NOT for everyone.

Pros

If you desire independence, income, and impact, this is the place for you. You will grow more than you have ever grown. You will help others and put their needs above yours. You will build a purposeful life by design. You will have a world class development team and support systems for you to succeed. You will have enterprise value in what you are building. It is YOUR business. You will be able to sell it one day or pass it down to a successor. You will create passive income for yourself. You will have the ability to be with your children in the morning and family time at night and on the weekends.

Cons

You have to build your own book of business. That is not easy. If anything is worth having in this life, it will be hard. To get in shape is hard, to create financial freedom is hard, to build a business is hard. Living a life without purpose or meaning is also hard. Choose your hard. The worst thing that happens in this busienss is someone telling you no. Compared to the men and women fighting for our country abroad or patrolling the streets, laborers working outside in the heat, getting told no while in a fancy office, dressed nice, and in the AC, its not that bad. I'll take that environment any day. If you don't mind being told no from time to time, then you will be fine. You can build an amazing life for yourself.
