-The design of the business closely resembles a pyramid scheme. They recruit tons of fresh college grads and make them work tons of hours the with the lure that they can make tons of money but only a select few do.
-They say you have that ability to cash in on a mulit-billion dollar industry. But yet the target customer for Total Quality is a person that is willing to pay 300 to 1000 dollars above market rate. So in actuality it is a fraction of a percent of that.
-Horrible sales management- I can't speak for the entire company but in Charleston, SC: Its like of like a high school popularity contest - If they don't like you they will force you out. All the brokers in the office making more than 50K a year have been given accounts from people that have left the company.
-Turnover rate is well over 50% (They will tell you it is 50% but there is no way it is true)
-"Work hard play hard" not at all. When you begin you will work around 55-70 hours a week. They have a company golf outing and they made me pay for it but wouldn't let me get out of work early on Saturday to attend it...
-Recruiters bonuses are based upon "Best Places to Work" awards. They inflate and manipulate the entries to get these awards -- TQL has to feed the machine with new employees to continue growing and sustain the business. I personally saw recruiters go on to other employees computers and enter reviews.
