Pros

Lots of earning potential. Great annual meetings.

Cons

Sales. Sales. Sales. The only thing that matters at Tom James. You have the opportunity to make a ton of money if you enjoy making phone calls and working until 10pm everyday. Not much opportunity for advancement. You'll always be in sales. The president of the company still sells clothing. They hire a lot of college students who don't know better and are okay with working 14 hour days. Eventually they realize whats going on and leave. Oh, and if you decide you don't want to work there anymore, they'll escort you out the same day. I felt like a criminal. No company should operate like that. Be smart, save yourself the hassle.

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.
