Pros

I have been with TMC for over 16 years, and cannot imagine a better work environment! The owners encourage personal and professional growth for all of the staff members, helping each to pursue their passion in life. We have several goal setting, financial planning and personal growth opportunities throughout the year, and hold each other accountable so that we can celebrate our successes. The daily workload is manageable ~ particularly if you have a passion for small businesses and enjoy helping busy owners to rest easy knowing that there is a company of people committed to investing in our business communities.

Cons

The credit card processing industry itself has a fairly shady reputation; it can be challenging sometimes when prospective merchants have had negative experiences with other companies and assume that we are "just another company".

Pros

At Total Merchant Concepts (TMC) we are trusted by the owners to do the right thing at all times. I love that my co-workers share that mentality; we care about each other and our merchants, vendors and partners. It is a fun environment and it is very-fast paced. Most of the employees are long-term, one has been here 15+ years. Leadership is responsive to suggestions and we feel we have a stake in the business and its future.

Cons

As I mentioned, TMC is a fast-paced business. I have seen some former employees not be able to handle the work-load. I love the challenge and have grown professionally over the years.

Pros

Great team members. Huge emphasis on integrity and thoughtfulness when dealing with customers. Employees are encouraged to go the extra mile for customers.

Cons

Although customers get a great experience, employees do not. The owner is verbally and emotionally abusive. She is constantly screaming at someone. Even if that someone is not you at that moment, the amount of tension in the office is palpable. Employees are cruelly reprimanded or mocked for the most ridiculous of reasons, many of them having nothing to do with job performance. The owner comes up with new "motivation" ideas on practically a monthly basis, forces everyone to jump through a bunch of hoops, and a few weeks later, forgets about the idea and moves on to the next thing. The owner's political and religious views come into play often, and no one dares to publicly disagree with her. She says things like "I would never let my child have a gay teacher" or "I don't want to hire this gay person, do I have to come up with another reason or can I just not hire him because of that"? She would force employees to come to mandatory meetings, thinking if she provided food, then it was ok not to pay employees to be there. Basically you have an owner that, deep down, has a very giving heart, but is so unbalanced that you never know what you are going to get.

This review is very offensive to me and nothing at all like our company culture. As a leader, tough decisions must be made with regard to employment in order to maintain the Integrity of an organization. It is unfortunate when people choose to add derogatory and inaccurate feedback.
