Not For Everyone

Pros

Work environment, earning potential, fast paced, upward mobility, and you are in control of your success or failure. If you are capable of coming to work and actually working all day without someone cracking a whip than this for you. If you want to make a lot of money fast no matter how much work you have to put in this is a job for you. If you are mentally tough and rejection and criticism strengthens you instead of breaking your spirit this is the job for you. Hard work is often rewarded here because most people today want to do as little as possible.

Cons

You must put in long hours to even sniff success, constant rejection, bad situations that are out of your control, high stress, vacations and going out to lunch is frowned upon unless you making well over 100k. 80+ cold calls a day to people who generally have no interest in working with you when in sales, 100+ calls to trucking companies that intend on making your job as difficult as possible when in training. Unfortunately it is human nature for most to show favoritism to people that tell them how great they are on a daily basis. Politics isn't usually an issue if you're putting in the time and effort. Favoritism should be shown to the hardest working not those that spend the most time trying to be your friend.

Do Not Work Here If You RESPECT or value yourself

Pros

It has a fun teamwork environment. People are super laid back and understands how stressful this job is, which allows everyone to bond together. There are also beer drops- meaning you get a beer or two 1/4 fridays of the month, sometimes they pay for a happy hour.

Cons

Oh where do I begin...When you start at TQL you are assigned to someone for 6 months to being their personal assistant. Many times, if unlucky you will be assigned to an awful person to work under. In my instance, he did not allow restroom breaks, or made people other than just me sit down when it was busy. Got upset if anyone went across the street for 10 mins to pick up lunch. The keyword here is MICROMANAGEMENT! during work you are watched closely and if you don't have your headset on, you will be yelled at. You are forced to stay past 515 for days made for prospecting ( 2 times a week you are forced to be here until 630-7pm). What is ridiculous is that they take attendance like they would in high school, then sends it to the boss. If your numbers are low, they review your attendance and tell you that that's the reason why you aren't succeeding, and could face possible termination. When requesting time off- 50% of the time they are not approved. At this company you work around 50 hours a week. They also make you work "after hours" which is known as 16-20 unpaid hours where you come in at 645 am or stay until 7 pm on certain days until you fulfill your 16-20 hours that THEY assign to you. You have to take calls after or before work hours on your cell phone and constantly worried about work and things that cannot be prevented. Obviously you see why the cons are much much greater than the pros, there are a lot more cons but would take me too long to write- this company isn't worth my time, but I just wanted the public to know about how awful this place is. Yes there are successful people here- they were handed clients and also pulled one nighters in the office- which is quite comical because this is not college but should be a professional work environment. To sum it up, this workplace should change their name to "First World Sweatshop"

Pros

Beer at work. Informal environment. Solid training.

Cons

Less than 1 percent make it past 2 years. Only half those actually make the 6 figure type salary advertised. Have to work with unprofessional coworkers and truckers. Very high stress environment. Expected to work 24/7. Also you start with a draw that can take months or years to dig out from to generate commission.
