Longevity:
Quixtar/Amway is the Grand Daddy of Multi Level Marketing. The company has been in existence more than forty years.

Ownership:
Private Company controlled by the families of Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel.

Pros:

  1. Longevity argues for continued strength and existence. Management is experienced enough to avoid mistakes that might bring down the company.
  2. As a result of being in the public eye a long time, there's much information around about Amway. Some is erroneus. Get the facts at the company's webpage, http://www.quixtarfacts.com/.
  3. Over 450 products, and partnership with major manufactuers and retailers, permits the marketing of a wide range of products. This benefits IBO's (Individual Business Owners) who want to make a living selling, but not recruiting. 
  4. As a global Corporation, IBO's working with this Amway have a global business opportunity.

Cons:

  1. Quixtar requires IBO's to function behind the company's password protected webpage to make sales or add distributors online. Every other MLM Company provides identical, cookie cutter web pages, which the search engines absolutely ignore. In terms of internet marketing, cookie cutter pages and a password protected Company page are inadequate. Still Cookie cutter pages are somewhat better.
