Vantaggi
Basically none; work is entirely commission with no benefits. No remuneration for driving around everywhere in an over-saturated market. You will be cold calling; First Investors has no marking department.
Svantaggi
Too many too list. This company basically hires recent college graduates who don't know any better. Many of the people who work at this company have parents with money; so first investors uses their employees to sell products to their family members. Within beginning work you will be asked to write a list of "connections"; it's basically just your family and everyone you know. They then expect you to peddle to them. There's no salary. No health benefits. They recently introduced both, but it's poor. The conditions required for the salary make it redundant. If you can sell as much as the minimum you wouldn't need the salary. This is basically a pyramid scheme. Beware of any company that spends more time and effort on hiring new people rather than marketing or market research. Most of the managers are simply big fish in a little pond, and made a lot of money by bullying their way into it. They are not helpful at all. The interview process was also misleading; unlimited income is almost impossible. The managers also try to instill this "make it or break it mentality", which puts much of the blame for lack of success on the representatives. The truth is First Investors spends zero amount of money on marketing or market research. All you get are pamphlets, which you can distribute yourself. Basically they are getting free labor off of their workers. I'm not sure how this isn't illegal.
