Pros

The fact you have at least Benefits and 401k Sales Role - no annual salary, what you make of it

Cons

Makes sales reps eat losses. For example, if clothes come in bad and the customer wants to return the garments it comes out of YOUR pocket which is insane as the sales reps don't make the clothes. Rip in the suit and the clothes need alterations, that also comes out of your pay. They will try and make your client pay for it but if you have a moral conscious you take the hit. They try and preach principles and values yet don't own up to their shortcomings. Cut you out of commissions rightfully earned. Tax you like crazy on sales bonuses and never give notice until you find it in your pay check 3-4 months later you essentially 'build your own business' but if you leave these clients are Tom James' clients. Very misleading in making you think you're building your own business. Not very good for a women who is thinking of raising a family or if you happen to get sick - there is NO monetary support health benefits are awful - copay exceeding $50 for a normal doctor visit. Culture is only good when it is beneficial to them, otherwise expect verbal abuse, cult like activity, and brainwashing Accounting is very shady - You don't fully reap the benefits of your hard work with their half down method. You think you're earning one thing and get something else No return on investment - meaning the sales people run around spending their own money to obtain the client and not compensated a dime for it. So when a client returns a garment you're not only out of your commission, you're out of the money you invested in to get that client. - double wammy and for the amount you earn it's not worth it. ALOT of Turnover - Churn and burn system False advertisement on president club level earnings.

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.
