Pros

Very strong financial benefits. Will support you in more ways than most companies because they do value every employee and want to see you succeed. It’s tough love sometimes but it is in your best interest. You also meet amazing people in your city who will become your friends and clients. It’s nice to meet the movers and shakers and help them feel confident. You’ll be surprised how great it can be when you build trust with clients.

Cons

Tom James is known for being difficult because it is. There is no sugar coating that because it is true. People complain about the company because they were not successful due to their lack of effort. If you are not willing to step out of your comfort zone and truly build a business you are not ready to work in a role like this. However, you will LEARN and gain confidence if you are open to trying. They want you to succeed and give you all the tools. It’s up to you. Work life balance in your first few years won’t be amazing but the potential down the line is worth fighting for. There are people in this company working three days a week and making six figures easy.
