Pros

Tom James is one of the best sales programs in the country. As a young adult entering the work force directly after graduating, I learned more than I ever could have at another company. They are serious about their culture and making everyone feel like family. I have friends I still speak to on a regular basis that live on the other side of the country. Since this is a direct selling type of position, you are face to face with some of the most successful people in your area. Your clients become useful resources for your career and network building. You are given the tools to succeed in many different ways. The best thing about the company is you have direct access to company leaders and often hear from the CEO Todd Browne. The company takes and individualized approach to each person and really mold them into becoming the best sales person they can.

Cons

While there are many good things to say about Tom James, there are some downsides. One of the major issues I had was the lack of a work/life balance. Successful people within the company have made the work their lifestyle and have fully embodied the Tom James experience. These people are able to see success quick, I saw it first hand. If you are not able to fully divest your life into your work, this is not the job for you. You are essentially a walking advertisement for your own book of business. While this is awesome in some ways, it does take time away from your social life, or being known for only your work. Lastly, while your office may have listed business hours, your work never truly stops. Also by no means is the workload easy. You are not handed leads and or easy sales. This is a REAL hunter style position where you do everything from prospecting, to selling, then to account management. If your not willing to do the work, don't waste your time. If you are wanting to learn every facet of sales and have a hands on approach than Tom James is the place for you.

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.
