It is a cult and a pyramid scheme. OK if you have literally no other option. - Sales Representative Tom James Company Employee Review

Pros

The people you work with usually are pretty good. It's a very positive environment. 50% discount on the clothes, which is still pretty expensive but better than full retail.

Cons

The pay sucks, the hours suck, the cult attitude sucks, the micromanagement sucks, the daily phone calling and reading from a script sucks, the wear and tear on your vehicle sucks, having to wear a suit every day sucks, the whole thing just sucks. It is a massive pyramid scheme. If you don't buy in to their cult attitude and drink the kool aid, you will not make it.

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.
