Pros

Looking professional everyday Working with wealthy clients / building connections SOME understanding co workers and SOME genuine people along the way if you choose to surround yourself with the 10% of wholesome staff. Teaches what working hard can get you monetarily Glamorous meetings Scheduling freedom Tons of opportunity for incentive trips

Cons

This company is absolutely a cult. If you don’t fit the office culture your are ostracized and there is no support or sympathy for the toll this position takes on your family life. My former employee of Tom James was asked / put in positions at Tom James that made me extremely uncomfortable multiple times, and once a TOP PERFORMER (she loved to remind me of this) even told me that I should consider “that there is something wrong with me” for not thinking that it was okay that she forced him to work from her HOME for an entire morning or she would not TRAIN him. That is not something you tell your co-workers significant other no matter what your rank, and a top performer should not be so narcissistic as to provide co workers with ultimatums that hurt their families. If you are in a relationship THINK TWICE about joining this company.

Pros

Not only is there unlimited opportunity/commission, but there’s unlimited personal development. The leaders constantly are challenging me to think with principles, think big for my goals, and giving me resources to achieve those goals. The people I get to serve for my clients are to top division makers, influencers, and income earners in Austin and I’m honored that they trust us to serve them.

Cons

Building a business requires thinking big, thinking strategically, and getting out of my comfort zone. As with any business, the better you do the more problems you face and are challenges to solve.
