Pros

It has been said before and I will say it again, if you work hard at TQL you WILL be successful. Yes, some brokers are given great accounts, but this happens very rarely and great accounts are only given to those who have proven themselves to be successful brokers. Despite some of the numbers posted here it is a fact that there are at least 100 brokers earning 6 figures +, and over 400 brokers earn over $50K. Once you have an established business, management will DEFINITELY stay out of your hair and you can expect a lot of freedom with your time. Also, the reason there aren't a lot of people that have been here more than 5 years is that the company is still very young.

Cons

TQL is addressing high turnover by becoming EXTREMELY selective in their hiring. Not sure if this is the best avenue, as many trainees are being held back due to lack of replacements. Be prepared to completely "knock the socks off" of the person interviewing you if you want the job.

Pros

Great opportunity for growth in multiple areas of life. Building a book of business can be very rewarding if you stick to it. Leadership opportunities are available as well.

Cons

Time needs to be put in order to show results.

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!
