Pros

You can control how much money you make. If you want to work 70 hours a week you will reap the rewards. The fate of your performance lies in how far you want to go. You can take a day off when ever you want because it is your business but if you do this then you are not going to make any money that day.

Cons

Doorknocking is awful but it is really the true way to find clients and to make money. Also they push the numbers pretty hard on you if you do not make the numbers expect a phone call and termination is the name of the game in the early stages.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
