Don't expect to make money quickly. Pay is EXTREMELY low for the industry. There is a steep learning curve to the industry and senior management is impatient with new salespeople to produce results very quickly with minimal resources and training. Success often depends on having manager that will go out of their way to help you out, which can be hard to find at Tempus. Salespeople in this company either burn out or cannot afford to continue working here long enough to see success of learning the industry. Good luck paying rent in DC or LA on 30k/year.
Speaking of compensation, the senior management team is constantly trying to find ways to minimize the pay of employees. They have made many changes to commission structures over the years solely because they want to keep as much for the firm as possible without losing senior salespeople with large books to better paying jobs elsewhere.
Senior management is a mess. The C Suite is filled with the worst kind of corporate decision by committee that often leads to no decision whatsoever. This has led to the loss of many talented professionals (both front and back office), frustrated with stagnation, indecision and hours of tractionless management meetings that were ill-moderated and worked toward no results.
No corporate values to speak of. Even the CEO can't say the company's mission statement without reading it from a sheet.
Oh, and all the positive reviews from August and Sept 2017 were "requested" from management.
Don't bother if you can avoid it.
