Vantaggi

Not much, but if you somehow make it to the top then you can make money, but 99.9% will not and will just loose their time and money

Svantaggi

you pay about $600 to become an IBO ("independent business owner"), then you bug the heck out of all your friends to become customers but better if they become IBO partners "under you (and they do the same). You collect a tiny percentace (NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT THEY ADVERTISE) from a tiny percentance of the customer's bill (ex: comcast bill $100, from which you qualify to collect anywhere from 1-10% depending on your "level" of say $10 - not the entire customer bill as it is preached in their meetings). Just from that you now know that you need a big customer base. But you get an even smaller percentage from your IBO partner's customers, where the money is at. When the pyramid builds out, MUST BE BIG and always growing, to keep the money flow up stream. Now, all the "meetings" LIE about the percentages and the examples are inflated to make it look good and make you sign up (or your partners that you want to sign up = false advertisement seems to be the model of business). I worked as an IBO for a while, and I figure out the crap after checking out the compensation papers (which they really do not show you - neither your so call "friend" because he/she him/herself might not even know of it). When you ask questions about the business model, "catch," etc they just evade as much as possible (because they don't know or is not convenient for you to know) since all they want from you is to sign up as and IBO, find customers and convice others to become IBOs under them..........and the scheme keeps on rolling. OHHHHHHhhhhh yeah, I forgot to mention, for you to even qualify to receive a penny, you must have x amount of CURRENT customer to give you point to qualify; those points expire after a 2 years and you must find more customers to keep you qualified to get money from your own customers or partner IBOs' customers.

Vantaggi

Good peer group for support on any task that needs to be done. Employees are really kind to each and easy to work with.

Svantaggi

Company has been making cuts everywhere to stay afloat for several years now. Management doesn't invest in employee growth. No work life balance. No matter how fast you work, you're told it should have been done faster. Company now has multiple employee reviews per year designed to put pressure on employees to perform. Layoffs are consistent with no warning whatsoever. We're told that everything is fine, yet good employees are caught off guard and laid off.
