      Pros

      Get to make as much as you want. Everyone is really nice in the beginning.

      Cons

      They push you like crazy to be successful in the shortest amount of time. Telling you to work 12 hours a day and weekends. In order to build your business fast, or build it slow and your base pay goes down each month and not have enough money to pay your bills. When stuff goes wrong they tell you it’s a mindset…certain offices are better than others. Some sales reps will straight up take your clients or call on your people you are calling on. For the whole company we have 2 people in tech. It’s so out dated. I have never been so depressed then working here and at this point I am in to deep and have put way to many hours in to give up. So many new hires cry everyday and the reps just tell them it’s okay that’s normal. NOT NORMAL then they quit.

      We do not expect 70-hour work weeks from our new partners. In general, this is not 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 will 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. If you would like to discuss anything further, please contact us at careerdivision@tomjames.com. We would be happy to listen more and address internally to the extent there are opportunities to do better. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!

      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.
