The pay for the time and effort you will put forth does not balance out at all. You will walk in clearing 1k every 2 week. For the first year expect to work 54hrs a week- it balances out to about 8.50 an hr and of course no overtime and yes expect to work all of the holidays. They get you in by offering a salary- do not be fooled that salary is good for the first year but after that it becomes a sales draw.. And they drop you on your face expecting you to pick up clients-the company takes 80% of the commission earned and of course your sales are low because your trying to earn your potential clients trust with decent pricing- while in the meantime if you fall behind a month with your draw it rolls over - you have 1 bad month it will take you 3 months to recover.. Some people walk away from TQL owing the company money.. Total quality to customers for sure but lack the quality care of its own employees.. As well when you sign your paperwork- after you leave TQL (because you will get fed up with treatment) you cannot work for another brokerage company for at least another year.. Choose wisely if you have a family or any real financial obligations your committed to- you will not make much money as well you will not have much of any free time of your own- and often times your forced to take your workload with you home to catch up for the following day.
