Tom James Company reviews

Cult-like culture. Extremely poor leadership & culture depending on office. "Optional" unpaid week-long trips twice a year (over holidays) for extended training. Optional is in quotations because you will be shunned if you *request* to miss it. Pyramid-scheme. Majority of sales people in their first year earn under $40k... if you're successful, you are extremely successful- if you are struggling, you won't make enough to live. Small base pay your first 2 years that will lessen each month. No gas reimbursement- you will put an insane amount of wear&tear and miles on your vehicle. Required morning meetings 3-4 days/wk and required to be at office from 3-5 pm every day for phone calling. You will work 70+ hour weeks your first few months which is expected of you. Leadership tells you not to take a vacation your first year... also no PTO.. no pay for sick days, etc. You are given no book of business- not an account manager role- you will hustle to find prospects.

The company is a CULT. Everyone is brainwashed into thinking this company is the absolute best place in the world to work - it’s not. You work 12+ hours a day for a declining pay scale which they are not even honest about how much you actually get paid each time. You have to have slimey sales tactics and berate, annoy, stalk, and disrespect people for business. There’s no respect for your own schedule or feelings if it doesn’t align with your offices culture. I don’t even tell people that I worked for this company because it has such a bad reputation in my city.
