Pros
If you can make it work, it's awesome money.
Cons
Chances are you won't so it's not awesome money RE: Base Pay - It's a sham. They use the same formula their "parent" company does. Let me break it down. So you say "Commission? That's scary, what if I can't make any money?" (Legit concern) Their response: "It's cool, we have to payroll options: performance based (100% earnings) or a base pay with 25% earnings." Sounds legit, right? It is so long as you stop dreading that awful "C" word. But the reality is that you're not getting anything out of it, in fact you're making your own situation worse. What they might not tell you right away is that in order to be eligible for that base pay, you have to make the "standard" which is 5 accounts per week ($500 earnings for the team member). Ok, so let's break it down a little further. The base pay is $300 +25% commission. So, if you make the 5 account standard, at 25%, you've just earned $125 + $300. That equals $425. Has it clicked yet? Aside from them TAXING YOUR COMMISSION, they've now screwed you out of another $75 after you worked 80+ hours and barely have time for anything else. And the hours do suck. You get into the office around 10:30 am, wait for the meetings to start, do the meetings, eat a quick lunch and take off. You're out until about 8-8:30pm. Then, once a week there's "team night" which is a [mandatory] way to hang out and get to know the people you see everyday of your life just a little bit more! And you have to do it! And will probably be out until the bars close, just to get up and work another 10-12 hours. :D
