The work at cartus can be quite challenging as there is a high standard for performance.
Pros
I have found Cartus to be an exceptional place to work. Specifically, I find my peers and team offer solid support, being good people who perform great work.
As a whole, the company is innovative and fair. The management listens, and communicates effectively on a broad level. I also find them to be approachable, and listen to employee feedback.
Overall, I award Cartus an A+!
Cons
I have the fortune of only great experiences at Cartus. With the current real estate market, relocation can certainly be impacted. But I feel Cartus has responded well.

Pros
Gain experiance to ge tinto your "real" career/compnay, personal time off (to compensate for lack of financial reward), always busy; Cartus is a company which alleviates administrative duties from companies who don't want to deal with time consuming , remedial jobs.
Cons
Cartus is a part of Realogy Corp. which is ultimatly a real estate based organization. This means, when they do bad, no matter how good your division did, you dont get a merit increase. There hasn't been a merit increase in over four years, This is not ideal especially when their salaries are not competitive at all. Given the demographic location, you cannot take the salaries seriously. In the department I had worked for , the turnover rate was above 70%, and having been there over 10 years, I would say the same about each department requiring a significant skill set. The only reason most still work there is out of desperation for an income, they havent accepted a new position elsewhere yet, or are right out of college.
Advice to Senior Management
Great job of servicing your clients, but your lack of talent retention is goign to be a real issue in maintianing client satifaction in the future.
Pros
The work can be rewarding as most transferee's are very appreciative of the assistance being offered for their relocation. The work environment is positive and fellow employees are supportive.
Cons
Some of the transferee's expectations are too high and can make for a difficult relocation. These transferee's require extra attention to stay within the guidelines of the relocation package offered.
Pros
Convenient location to my home.
Cons
Management nepotism, lack of jobs understanding, lack of effective & practical Real Estate knowledge, lack of respect for employees.
Advice to Senior Management
Don't try to micro-manage, especially since you don't understand the day-to-day necessities of the front-line jobs.
