Toxic work environment.. cult like atmosphere - Outside Sales Representative Tom James Company Employee Review

Thanks so much for taking the time to give us feedback. I am sorry to hear your experience at Tom James was a negative one. We appreciate you expressing your concerns and bringing this to our attention. We want you to know that Tom James values your review and takes all comments into consideration. We take these type of allegations very seriously. There are comments in this that don’t align with the published opportunity or company practices. We would need to speak with you to understand your perspective better to respond. Please email us careerdivision@tomjames.com so that we may address these as soon as possible. Without being argumentative, we do like to take the opportunity when relevant to point out to any potential readers feedback that is factually incorrect. While we appreciate feedback of any variety, it's also important to be factual: - We do not expect 60+ hour work weeks from our new partners. In general, this isn't our management style. It is TRUE that many of the people we attract choose to work very hard in their first years of building their clientele. Our belief is that if we help people develop goals for the life they want to build, and help them develop an activity plan to accomplish those goals, they'll use both their work ethic and their efficiency/creativity to figure out how to achieve them on a monthly basis. While it does take hard work to get your business off the ground here, it is not our culture to enforce a specific hourly requirement. - On the pyramid scheme allegation, we do need to point out that both claims are categorically false. It is explicitly stated in our employee agreement that employees are not required to wear our products. Additionally, no leader receives pay from their team members' commissions. Period. That is just not true. Leaders DO earn leadership pay commensurate with the overall sales volume of their team, but in no way, shape or form does this pay come out of their team members' earnings. -It is categorically untrue that we require anyone to write reviews of our company. So while we appreciate the feedback in general, we did want to point out the distinctions here for any other job seekers who may want a balanced and factual perspective on our employment structure. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
