Pros

The people, culture, Team Environment, Company Events

Cons

Recruiters Beware! TQL works their Recruiters to the ground and the Bonus Structure is Terrible! I wanted to work hard, hire great sales reps and be able to make more than what I did at my previously position. Yes.... I work hard putting in 60 hours a week and a lot of time on the weekends. No... I do not make any money, I took what has ended up to be 10k pay cut after being led to believe the bonus structure was awesome. The bonus structure may work at their headquarters but it does not work for any other office. I am so burnt out and beat up from working here. In addition to recruiting, the recruiter's job is to plan everything for the office, push a ton of paperwork around and order all offices supplies. When all of this admin work is done, it doesn't leave much time to Recruit! We exhaust all Resources and bring in as many qualified candidates as we can and virtually no one is even hired! Our efforts are not being paid off, I'll be Lucky to make 45k this year after working over 50 hours a week. My advice to a Recruiter interested in working here... Don't. It's horrible and the Recruiters don't matter to TQL. TQL only cares about their sales people.

Pros

Frat House environment if that's what you're into.

Cons

Where do I even start.... My first week there the sales manager, whose account I was supposed to look over and be trained by, was gone for the whole week. The desk spot they put me at was next to this JBL party box, making it virtually impossible to communicate over the phone. When you're in the training phase you literally do all the work for the account manager, then you're expected to make cold calls to people that want no part in TQL. When you do get someone on the phone and make a sale, you wont be seeing any of that money. They have a commission draw set up where you have to be making a certain amount of revenue before you can make commission- thus leaving you to the measly 43k salary. These recruiters and managers SELL you a false dream, the turnover rate there is astronomical for a reason. They will hire anyone that'll learn the system, use them for labor for 6 months, cut them when they don't meet the ridiculous KPI metrics. To be actually successful here you either have to work near 60+ hours a week for YEARS waking at 4am to "snipe" accounts that have been released due to inactivity, or be handed an account by a retiring SR level manager. RUN from this company!
