Dishonest Unprofessional

TEM Concepts is an awful company to work for. They sell DirecTV at Best Buy and Sam's Club among other places occasionally. They have you drive to their office every morning before he ships you off all over the place, sometimes as far as 45 miles away, all without reimbursement. These meetings consist of the owner coming in and telling you your not doing well enough before he goes and plays golf.

TEM Concepts is run by two guys who don't really do anything but make sure you go to your store every day. They don't care about anything but THEIR money. They will jump at any excuse to take YOUR money. They are immature and unprofessional. When I left the company, I had a check coming to me. The owner not only paid me minimum wage for the 2 days instead of my commission, but he tried not to give it to me. After four weeks of Tom Moore not answering my calls, I emailed him via the companies fantasy football league. The next day, I got a call from one of my ex coworkers telling me to come to the Best Buy he was working and get my check. A check that should've been mailed to me weeks ago.

Don't ever work for this company. They are dishonest, they will lie to you so you unknowingly lie to the customers. They will steal your money. They make promises of promotion and big money, but no one ever gets there. When the fog clears, its just a minimum wage pyramid scam. BEWARE! It will cost you more than you make to work here.

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.
