Pros

Worked in downtown Chicago location. Company has great bi annual trips, decent discount on clothes but they are still making a good profit on employee buys. Some really great people. If you love cold calling and working 12 hours a day this is a good place for you.

Cons

Terrible leadership in many locations. All expenses are paid by employee, including any marketing expenses. Company is way behind the times as far as technology or current marketplace. Very similar to MLM scheme and they feed on young professionals that come in, build up quick client bases and leave for greener pastures and their boss keeps all their clients.

Pros

Tom James is an ideal starting point for someone interested in a sales career. You will learn the right habits and sales skills to succeed in the sales arena regardless of the product. You will also develop a network of high level business people that will be essential to your success in the future. Work there for two or three years then decide where you want to spend the rest of your sales career. It may be at Tom James but, if not, you will be well trained and prepared to sell anything, anywhere. I worked there for ten years and have gone on to great success in my other sales endeavors. The skill set that I acquired from my time at Tom James has be invaluable.

Cons

Like any successful sales organization, Tom James has great leaders and others that are untrustworthy narcissists. The former and the latter can both teach you something from which you can benefit. Just beware of the narcissists. The company has a decent commission structure but requires its sales professionals to carry too much of the burden related to expenses. Most troublesome is that when people move on other opportunities, they are spoken off as defective of character and maligned for having poor judgment. The belief in Tom James is that no one can achieve greater success outside of the organization. That is simply a joke. Just be prepared for the leadership to take it personally when you depart.
