Tom James Company reviews

The cons can just simply not be put into a bulleted list. This company sells the “Tom James Opportunity” to recent college graduates. They try to act like if you just make the calls and work from 7am until 6pm you will be successful. However, they force old “used car salesperson” tactics down their employees throats and high amounts of pressure constantly. They tell their salespeople that it does not matter if someone they call on needs a suit just as long as they are rich. Not to mention that most of the good prospects in town have been sought after leaving very few qualified prospects for new salespeople. As far as the product, there were constant delays in orders and fabrics going out of stock after an order was put through. There should not have to be tons of crisis management when selling suits but there is at Tom James. Managers pick at people’s appearance and the company is mainly white people. Their statics of how much a first year sales rep can make is also skewed because half of the people quit after 6 months. For a commission based job I would never recommend this to a friend unless they are willing to have no social life and have rich parents that can support them when trying to build their business.
