Vantaggi
Helping members reach their personal business goals. If you do it right (read: don't ask permission) you can buy products at wholesale price for your own home.
Svantaggi
Showroom management set up to create us (sales) vs. them (operations) mentality, that is unnecessary and detrimental. Incredible amounts of work for next to nothing pay. To speak to both of these points, see the disparities between Operations Managers and Sales Managers pay. Both positions are supposed to be equal and operations managers support sales every bit as much as sales managers do. Sales are a nightmare and quite often cutthroat and backstabbing in nature. Just an awful, dramatic, hostile work environment on every level. Head for zee hills and don't ever work here. I did my job, did it well, and left on peaceful terms but I will forever look at this business as the way in which NOT to motivate, the example as to what happens when ethics are tossed out the window, and how a complete lack of corporate responsibility will snuff out a business in the 21st century.
