Self starters and Entrepreneurs
Pros
TQL is the best opportunity a young professional that possesses an entrepreneurial spirit and a strong work ethic. I came to TQL after getting my MBA, which is not a requirement by any means, but a number of my cohorts questioned that I was going to a company with a salary of 35k. I told them they were short sighted: The potential to make $100k+ is realistic in a relatively short time, which doesn’t happen in many fields. It is a company that takes recommendations from the employees to heart, and is constantly striving to be the best.
Cons
In striving for the best, TQL has high standards for its employees; particularly when it comes to effort. I have heard TQL called a “meat grinder” or “revolving door”, and to be honest in over 5 years I have seen a great deal of people leave… but the difference between those that go and those that stay is passion and an insatiable desire to WIN. For many that could mean social life on the back burner, which many young professionals many not want to do. TQL is a work hard, play hard company… but work has to come first. I have had to leave a social engagement early do to an issue that needed immediate attention or handle a call on Christmas morning, those expectations are given at the door: on call 24/7/365. TQL isn’t a job for the faint of heart or those with weak constitutions; TQL is the job for someone that isn’t afraid to take their work home with them, that constantly thinks about how to get to the next level, and that is persistent almost to a fault.
