Pros

1. Develop your personal characteristic traits 2. Clarify where you want to be in life financially

Cons

1. If you do not fit into their mold for success you will likely be unhappy in the long run. 2. After leaving I found out they (upper management) only expects new people to remain at Tom James for 2-3 years. 3. One of the most concerning things is at the very beginning they expect you to plug your personal phone into their system. They then have full access to everything (personal contacts) on your phone. If you try to leave they will claim those contacts are Tom James property and that they have to wipe your phone. 4. No work-life balance. They will say it is up to you, however, the culture they promote expects you to work evenings, weekends, and most holidays.

Pros

Not only is there unlimited opportunity/commission, but there’s unlimited personal development. The leaders constantly are challenging me to think with principles, think big for my goals, and giving me resources to achieve those goals. The people I get to serve for my clients are to top division makers, influencers, and income earners in Austin and I’m honored that they trust us to serve them.

Cons

Building a business requires thinking big, thinking strategically, and getting out of my comfort zone. As with any business, the better you do the more problems you face and are challenges to solve.
