Pros

You definitely learn a lot

Cons

Unbelievable experience. This was honestly the worst job I have had. They harass you to buy overpriced clothing while forcing you to chase down people on the street to buy clothes…. It is a very degrading job with little to no pay. They make it seem like the best job in the world, but it is a bunch of make believe. They lie about how the company is doing….. do not work here…

As a company that really strives to build and develop people, we're sorry to hear you had a less that 5-star experience. If there are any situations that you would like to discuss privately in more detail, we are always open to talking—just email careerdivision@tomjames.com. We want you to know that Tom James values your review and takes all comments into consideration. 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. - No one is required to purchase our clothing. Like most companies, we offer our products at heavy discounts to our employees. But by no means do we require employees to participate. - We have recently implemented a new, robust pay plan structure in part in response to concerns like yours. Tom James provides fully comprehensive medical coverage, a robust benefits program, and our employees are W2'd employees. We offer a traditional 401(k) matching program, employee ownership, and also a profit sharing program where we share our profits back to the employees at the end of each year. - We are proud of the fact that Tom James has remained profitable during the pandemic. This is due to our ability to pivot our business model, but even more so because of our dedicated and hard-working Sales Professionals, both new and tenured, of whom we are very proud. I am sorry if you didn’t get the chance to grow your career at Tom James like many others have. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We will you all the best in your future endeavors.

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.
