Pros

Great benefits with mostly great people.

Cons

If you get stuck in a territory that doesn't perform, you will never be promoted. It was very interesting that people who were in the same geographical areas would always rise straight to the top. The "Vacant Family" was often very successful...meaning, even if the territory was empty, it would somehow be #1 EVERY year!
