Dishonest Unprofessional

This job consists of soliciting customers at retail locations. If your not comfortable with harrassing people, most of whom have been harrassed previously by your company and want nothing to do with your product, then this job is for you. You work 50 hours a week including every weekend, for less than 400 a week. You will recieve NO commissions unless you sell more than 4 packages per week, at which time you will NOT be paid for you labor, its one or the other :) As mentioned previously, your expected to drive to the office every morning to be lectured on selling more, before shipping off to your random location, and there is no compensation for miles driven. Also as mentioned previously, do not expect to receive your last paycheck, they will scam at any opportunity. I was disgusted by the unprofessional, and frankly, unsavory way they managed people's money. During my 2 week stint there, I witnessed about a dozen people come in, and quit within 48 hours... The employees were nice enough, but the 2 managers (who do nothing) are jokers who capitalize on your sales. Above mentioned "Pyramid scheme" description was not far off, this job is not for the weak of heart!

Dishonest Unprofessional

Anyone who is reading these comments, I really hope you get to mine before making a decision on whether or not this job is for you. I actually read all these same comments after my second interview with TEM and almost walked away. I have now been working for Tom at TEM for about 3 months, and to be honest, it really wasn't ywhat I expected, or am very good at. But what I did find out is that they are thexact opposite of what these people make them out to be. For one, yeah, this job isn't for everyone. You need to be self motivated, dependable, and a hard worker. If you seen't all of these, get an $8.00 per hour job where it will take you a year to get to $8.50. Now I have seen a lot of people come and go over the past few months while I've been here, but as I worked owith a lot of them in the field, I can assure you those are the same lazy people that weren't the hard working type I listed above. I have seen 2 great hard working guys oopromoted since I have been there that are doing great, and another but that was promoted just before I got there that wasn't doing as great as expected so they brought back in for a couple weeks to help with a few things. Now like I said, I'm not very good at this job. The smallest check I've gotten was $330 for one week, after taxes. That was selling one app for the entire week. Yeah, if your not trying, and not getting results, uthey aren't going to keep you around...makes perfect business sense. Now I show up on time, ask questions to better myself, go to my store after our meeting atnd try my hardest to do what is expected of me...which isn't a lot...and haven't been very impressive. Now here's the key point...I do what I'm asked, and I still have a job, and I get paid every week. These people that complain of not getting paid are the ones that show up for the morning meeting and dfon't go to their stores for the actuall work afterwards. I've seen them do it. Don't let some lazy $8.00 per hour slacker keeping you from making an investment into yourself. Like I said...this job isn't for everyone, but if you want to control how much you get paid a week, and work for a guy that honestly cares about seeing the right, hard working people succeed, then atleast check out what TEM is about. I don't think I've got the "sales bone" in my body, but I never have looked at this as a bad path. Tom has taught me a lot about business in general in my short time with the company. If my time runs out since I'm not putting up. Great numbers, then that's what it is, but its not because he didn't try to make better when he shouldn't have, or paid me when he should have, its because it wasn't for me.
