Pros

Really solid training. Teaches you how to sell and work hard Good product and very easy to sell. Get used to doing business with busy executives Surrounded by good looking, ambitious, down to earth people

Cons

Despite the solid training, management tends to be very bad. A good number of selfish/egotistical people with big numbers who are running around management making the company worse when they could just be sales reps and not bother anyone. On the contrary though you will also meet some of the best managers you can find here No work life balance. You will get yelled at and put down for working only 65 hours in a week. The job itself is depressing at times. Being a ‘clothier’ and rarely hanging out with coworkers (who are rarely the same age as you due to the turnover rate) isn’t the most fulfilling thing to do The pay is very questionable. You work your blood sweat and tears here and then come home to a sweet $1500 check. There are endless roles in the modern day sales landscape without the cons you can easily hop to that will give you double the pay for half the work.

Pros

Not only is there unlimited opportunity/commission, but there’s unlimited personal development. The leaders constantly are challenging me to think with principles, think big for my goals, and giving me resources to achieve those goals. The people I get to serve for my clients are to top division makers, influencers, and income earners in Austin and I’m honored that they trust us to serve them.

Cons

Building a business requires thinking big, thinking strategically, and getting out of my comfort zone. As with any business, the better you do the more problems you face and are challenges to solve.
