Pros

the people in the office are great, good work environment. Victoria Nenchev is absolutely great, working with her is fabulous. Nick Hines, also awesome.

Cons

they expect full time work, attending meetings, without hourly work, they want six fact finders but pay you for three. The incoming intern group was originally 16, only 6 passed our licensing test, getting reimbursed had issues for at least three people, within three weeks 2 quit, within 10 weeks another 2 quit before they were even finished. the stipend runs out after 12 weeks. The clients you get as an intern are not going to be as lucrative, so the examples they give during the interview process for commission are not applicable ($100 in reality versus $1000 examples).

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.
