Pros

They pay 100% of your health insurance which is great. Not many companies will do this, which is why it's nice. Depending on which center you work in, you will either love or hate your coworkers.

Cons

The amount of money you make at this job is very inconsistent. They say you will make 40k a year but that is true for their top 5 producers. The hours aren't the best either. You work 3 days 8-6:30 and 2 days 8-2. You only get Sundays off and one day off during the week so you never have 2 days off in a row. If you have a family, this job will be very hard to maintain considering the hours. You are also expected to clean the entire center and do inventory and share ONE computer with all staff. If you cannot sell over 5k in nutritional supplements in one week then this job is NOT for you. The managers are also expected to sell 5k even though they get an override of the center and their pay isn't dependent upon how much they sell. I worked there for over a year and saw a huge amount of turnover. Their company model is not set up well for Program Advisors and they do not treat them very well. Everyone in the corporate office seems to be treated well and everyone else except Program Advisors. If you like working 12 hours shifts for $10 an hour then this job is for you!

Pros

The clients and achieving good skills.

Cons

Like others have stated, you get what you put into it, until they burn you out because their business model is so archaic that few people's passion for the job can overcome the whiplash, head spinning direction, knee jerk reactions and decision making based on emotional suspicion rather than logic and well thought out processing of information. If you need me to more specific, it's everything. Because of this, the Managers and Area Supervisors who work in centers are set up to fail because their exceptions are very generalized and rarely clear, which trickles down. The other problem is selling products and services to clients online, which affects the paychecks of all staff members. The response from the CEO and Director? Sell more, give them better service and they won't buy online...despite the fact that the company markets to them online, with cheaper prices and we are not able to match them in center. You can draw your own conclusions on how that effects employee moral and how everyone (but the CEO) makes their living.
