There are so many more Cons than Pro ... Door to Door sales person for Multi-Level Marketing Company summarizes the whole experience.
- Long hours.
Employees end up working 10+ hours a day. No overtime is paid because you are considered as outside sales person (excempt from Fair Labor Standard Act)
- Mandatory Fun
Company outing TWICE A WEEK?! Often times the outing is held in a smoking environment.
- No Benefits
This one might be obvious but Full time employee with no benefits... no 401k, no insurance
- Empty Promises
Typical of Multi-Level Marketing Companies but there are a lot of empty promises.
Personally, I felt unethical to work for such company.
I would have a completely different opinion if employees were actually non-exempt full-time. But like I said above, typical employees are outside sales person(thus exempt).
