Pros

You can put it on your resume and you learn standard marketing systems that work. You get to travel and have opportunities for bonus' and opening your own office eventually of you reach goals.

Cons

It's a pyramid scheme. You spend a lot in gas money and they make it seem like a legit marketing career when all you really do is sell possibly knock off products at Sam's Clubs and Costcos. The turn over rate is ridiculous and you have to drive to the office and show up from 8-10 a.m. to do "learning and teaching" of the systems. Then you drive to a location (another hour) and set up and sell and network of your sales aren't high enough, then drive back to the office to unload and then drive back home. You get paged commission but sometimes you just don't have the best product or foot traffic that day. Then you have to make your own team and recruit people by making it seem like this glamorous job which it is not. Also you work like 6 days a week no benefits and if you do sell enough to create your own team then you have to do way more work and get there even earlier for the same pay. I'm all for hard work and working your way up but your team eventually realizes it's a pyramid scheme and not worth it and then you have to hire more people and recruit them hoping one day you'll get enough to stay for your team. You are basically doing the managers job for him and not getting played enough for the hours and work that you put in.

Pros

Every day we have our business school, and we not only learn about marketing but we also learn knowledge that we can apply in our every day lives or our dream job, using this as a major stepping stone to get there. So of your wanting to be your own boss and own your own business like myself, this is a major step in that direction. Learning how to manage and run a company, as well as your own team.

Cons

It's a very fast paced business. So missing one day of work is like missing a weeks in the corporate world, knowledge wise. Due to the potential rewards of Seg, it can be a little time consuming. So time management is essential, but to help with that, it is one of the things taught throughout the duration of this.

Pros

I’ve been with SEG Promotions for only a few months now, and the developmental growth I’ve experienced on not only a professional level, but also on a personal level continue to astound me every single day. This program is a full time business school--goal orientated and fast-paced, SEG Promotions is the opportunity for someone highly motivated to take control of their future and fast-track themselves to success. Unbelievable travel opportunities! I recently qualified for the opportunity to go to CANCUN for an all-inclusive owners retreat weekend! No matter what someones overall processional end goal may be, at SEG Promotions the tools and the training are provided for anyone looking to achieve self-mastery and success!

Cons

It's a serious time committment. Also, the amount of driving to and from events takes a while to adapt to--sometimes an event is 20 miles aways, but not always.
