Pros

"Family style" Work Environment. Good Commission per sale. Short sale cycle. 2 weeks Paid Time off end of the year. When oil prices are high, prospects will be open to this type of investment. Finding a qualified one is the hard part.

Cons

Very difficult sale to begin with. Big money investments for accredited investors only. Oil and Gas Industry has been in the dumps since 2014. Greatly impacting potential prospects to buy into wells. Negativity about the whole industry in the news and everywhere else is killing leads and potential buyers. Heavy cold calling environment. Leads provided are a joke. Very few 'real' accredited individuals. Very, very low base pay. You make more money on unemployment then actually working off your base. No way to survive during bad periods (like current). Lawsuits galore currently. Past employees were not supervised properly on what they said to potential investors and have led to several big lawsuits. Significantly hurting morale and a future with the company. Title is not accurate at all. You are a 'gopher' and 'scapegoat'. You constantly take calls from angry past investors who have lost money all of which you have no control over. You are the pawns in the game. Management gives very little information and everything they say turns out to a 'half truth' or worse. Makes the information you share with your clients false and they loose trust in you.
