Pros

If you are a relatively weak person and need robust structure and discipline but don't want to join the army join Tom James.

Cons

Tom James is a bottom end more made to measure suit company rather than bespoke operating like a cult. You will notice they prey on mainly students and manipulate them into their mould, you will also notice the people that work there have either been there for 1 week or 1 decade! . They claim to have Christian leaders within and will try imposing their values and beliefs on you in a very sneaky way using various guilt trip tactics. They hold on to this and talk alot about values and integrity but in actual fact tell alot of lies to manipulate situations and people for self gain. The main boss is a glorified tacky double glazing salesman that is significantly odd would seem got lucky years ago and has managed to stick around. You will also notice no one who has worked at other tailoring companies will have left to join Tom James to firther their career,but very much the other way round , there is a significant reason for this, it's because of there terrible reputation. When you leave you will also been constantly harassed with letters threatening you about the consequences of working for there competition. To sum the company up briefly I would say the product is ok but not great, the management are stuck in the 80's American window salesman culture peppered with some weird double standard religious system. Be very careful when dealing with this company very dodgy.

Pros

There is a good variety of work where you may learn about different aspects of the business. This is great to push you to your fullest capabilities. You do not know what you are able to do until you try.

Cons

The pay does is not on equal footing as the amount of responsibility and hours required to do your job. Management needs to understand it will not be able to keep the best talent happy without paying what its people are worth.
