Pros

Love the products! The people you meet along the way.

Cons

Very scripted, even emails from Director, same emails over and over again. Unless you make it to one of the Queen's Court, Director pays little attention to you, no time for questions or advice. We are working so that our Director can earn the car, the bonus, etc. The promotion gifts are very cheap, they talk them up, but then you realize jewelry is 'made in China'. Unless you are a Director or up, you are invisible. You can buy your way to the top, no records of sales, just based on your orders, so if you have the money, you just order what's needed for the next level or to walk across the stage.
