Pros

- Enjoyed writing down my goals daily, things I was grateful for, etc. (this will not be taught by other employers) - Great full selling cycle experience - You build your own clientele (con - when you leave everyone fights over who gets who) - You can make great money if you're willing to have no life - Great people succeeding

Cons

- I would never in my life recommend this job to anyone, it was the most miserable year of my life - People are cool, but there's a lot of company gossip/drama - Terrible management - Absolutely no work life balance (even a doctors appointment is frowned upon) - Expected to work weekends - Be prepared to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the office and sometimes leave almost at 10pm (or later) - You need a car for appointments - Way more growth elsewhere - Expectations from poor management are high - When you quit people don't want to see you succeed elsewhere

Pros

Cannot share a pro for this

Cons

I left the company last year and have been enrolled in COBRA. Without any notification I was just charged almost double for my insurance because Tom James misquoted my insurance in the first place. This is ridiculous that a 50 year firm can't even get its benefits correct! They are so unorganized its sad.

Pros

Good office culture, good national meetings and trips

Cons

Have fun working 12-16 hours every day, harassing people like a telemarketer, chasing people down the streets to try to convince them to buy from you, overpriced and poor quality products, unrealistic demands to employees. The "base" pay that is promised to you when you are hired is nonexistent. You will find yourself: friendless, exhausted, miserable, and broke. You'll forget what your life was like before being taken over by TJ. You'll feel like you are in a cult, and quite frankly, working at TJ is comparable to being hazed in a fraternity or sorority. This is a company, which is mostly dominated by young adults, just out of college. This is a stepping stone to a better job, not something you should ever consider making into a career. RUN while you can.
