demanding work never ending and weekends are work too

Tom James Company Response

1y

We do not expect weekend work 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.

Pros

The sales role at Tom James is phenomenal: uncapped pay, long term client relationships and growth opportunities are a few of the many tremendous aspects at this company. This is a career opportunity and not simply a job.

Cons

Not necessarily a con, but like anything with high rewards, it requires a lot of hard work. It's worth it if you put in the time as you ultimately determine your own success.
