Do Not Work Here If You RESPECT or value yourself
Pros
It has a fun teamwork environment. People are super laid back and understands how stressful this job is, which allows everyone to bond together. There are also beer drops- meaning you get a beer or two 1/4 fridays of the month, sometimes they pay for a happy hour.
Cons
Oh where do I begin...When you start at TQL you are assigned to someone for 6 months to being their personal assistant. Many times, if unlucky you will be assigned to an awful person to work under. In my instance, he did not allow restroom breaks, or made people other than just me sit down when it was busy. Got upset if anyone went across the street for 10 mins to pick up lunch. The keyword here is MICROMANAGEMENT! during work you are watched closely and if you don't have your headset on, you will be yelled at. You are forced to stay past 515 for days made for prospecting ( 2 times a week you are forced to be here until 630-7pm). What is ridiculous is that they take attendance like they would in high school, then sends it to the boss. If your numbers are low, they review your attendance and tell you that that's the reason why you aren't succeeding, and could face possible termination. When requesting time off- 50% of the time they are not approved. At this company you work around 50 hours a week. They also make you work "after hours" which is known as 16-20 unpaid hours where you come in at 645 am or stay until 7 pm on certain days until you fulfill your 16-20 hours that THEY assign to you. You have to take calls after or before work hours on your cell phone and constantly worried about work and things that cannot be prevented. Obviously you see why the cons are much much greater than the pros, there are a lot more cons but would take me too long to write- this company isn't worth my time, but I just wanted the public to know about how awful this place is. Yes there are successful people here- they were handed clients and also pulled one nighters in the office- which is quite comical because this is not college but should be a professional work environment. To sum it up, this workplace should change their name to "First World Sweatshop"
