Pros

Great business model and they give you all of the tools you'll ever need to succeed. Upper management really tries to make the working environment more tolerable, and gives the satellite offices free reign to have events to lower the stress level of the job. Change your life type job if you come in with the right mentality.

Cons

-- Gross overcoaching/micromanagement -- Favoritism during prospecting disputes (if you get ruled against and put up any kind of resistance, you're red flagged for "negativity") -- Two faced management fraternities (all fun and games during beer drops and cornhole tourneys, but everyone is on pins and needles. Step into a GSM's office and who they are really comes out) -- Until you pay your draw off you're nothing (pretty much quoting an STL) -- Double standards for the office favorites -- If you have an opinion, better keep it to yourself. Can't trust anybody and they'll tattle on you in a second to get a shot at your customers after you've been canned. -- General sleaze -- numerous incidents of managers engaging in inappropriate activities with people they manage -- obviously people that turn them down are afraid both of getting redflagged and afraid of talking to management about it -- Can't speak for every satellite office but mine was pretty much a cult centered around the GSM (person who runs the office) -- After being out of there for a while I guess the most disturbing thing was how group activities were such fun and you really felt like a team, but not even an hour later they'll be calling someone in to the office and sending them packing. You could never trust management and near the end of my time there I was constantly scared and just kept my head down and pretty much never spoke to anyone. You'd hear all the brokers that paid off their draw and were on commission hamming it up all day long while their assistants would handle their account, and all of the guys like me (who were on the way up the chain) frozen in their chairs afraid to say or do anything. I'd say this is a good job to take if you've got industry contacts and can build a quick book of business, but even then if you have any kind of opinion about anything company related (and it's not 100% positive) they'll throw you out in a hot minute.

Pros

TQL is an incredibly exciting and fast paced work environment where any employee who wants to come in and work hard can earn solid income for themselves and their family as long as they are willing to put in the hours to improve themselves and their skills and stay committed to ensuring their own success. In-office and remote management is very supportive of you and your growth at the company as well as learning skills to assist you in daily life outside of work. The HR team at TQL is top notch and the benefits provided by TQL are great as well.

Cons

Long hours and working before and after the typical 8-5 can be and is normally required in some regard at TQL. The clients that you will end up working with will rely on you to service them at all hours of the day and if you cannot commit to being available 24/7 when needed from your clients then a job at TQL may not be for you. All of this is part of what will lead to you being successful at TQL and earning a living that you desire and the hard work will pay off in the end as you grow relationships and trust with your clients.
