Pros

I have absolutely nothing good to say about this place.

Cons

Tom James is the worst place in the world to work. They will try to make it seem like it is an amazing place by hyping up trips and incentives, but it is all just to bring you in. They FORCE you to buy suits that are way too expensive, are terrible quality, and don't even fit. Every person at this office completely blows. Not only that, but EVERY SINGLE GOOD "RATING" IN GLASSDOOR WAS WRITTEN BY EMPLOYEES WHO WERE FORCED TO WRITE THEM TO BRING UP THE COMPANY RATING. How pathetic. Yeah, I know a few people who make good money, but by completely lying and deceiving people into buying this horrid clothing. If you were looking for a sign not to work here... THIS IS IT.

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.
