Realogy Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Realogy full-time for more than a year

Pros – Great growth potential as the real-estate market is poised for renewed growth. Pay is reasonable with very good bonus program. Flexible work culture.

Cons – Frequent restructuring. Lot of back-stabbing or political heavy-handedness. Not very tech-savvy.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Realogy full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – You can learn a great deal while at Realogy. They do post all positions, although some departments already have someone in mind when they post but are requited to sdo so anyway. You are able to move into different departments and there are (seemingly) many opportunities for both lateral moves and promotions

Cons – Realogy has an extremely face paced and the workload was very intense. It was difficult to keep all the "balls up in the air". Very much an old (white) boys club. Work life balance is non-existent, including conference calls Christmas morning. Also very political.

Current Employee – been working at Realogy full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – The best and brightest real estate and franchising professionals in the business pass through Realogy's doors at some point in their career. If you keep your eyes open, your nose to the ground and pay close attention you can learn a lot from people who are willing to share and help you make connections. The company has made great improvements to help employees enjoy a balance of professional and personal responsibilities.

Cons – DO NOT TRUST HUMAN RESOURCES. If you take nothing else away from the reviews on Glassdoor.com just remember that you cannot share any complaints and concerns with HR. As you are on your way back to your desk from a meeting that you thought was positive, the person you trusted is on the phone with your manager repeating your words verbatim. I know because I am a manager and whenever someone has a concern, my HR generalist shares everything with me. That is helpul because it allows me to change whatever needs to change and I don't hold it against my direct reports. It also tells me that I had better not share any concerns or my relationship with my manager is in jeopardy. The other big issue with HR is that managers don't decide who gets hired, promoted or fired. HR strongarms the managers into choices that aren't agreeable. When it's time to make cuts, the managers usually learn the night before who is being let go and cannot do anything about it. I've been with the company for a number of years and stay because I have learned a lot that will be helpful to me when I am ready to move on. The pay isn't great but the learning experience far outweighs what I could earn elsewhere. There is limited focus on employee development and the company seems to allocate limited resources to talent management.

Advice to Senior Management – Each employee should have a true employee development plan that follows them from the minute they start at Realogy. It should be tied to their performance reviews and referred back to throughout the year and not just during common review periods. It could also be used to prepare employees for opportunities that are frequently or anticipated to be available. Perhaps consider separating the HR team in RFG. It would be great for them to learn more about the other Realogy businsesses and would break up a clique that employees know about and feel threatened by but are powerless to do anything about.

Former Employee – worked at Realogy

Pros – My office environment was very professional and pretty easy going at times. Most people got along well with each other.

Cons – Some of the management staff were way overpaid for doing nothing. There was a lot favortism towards some that didn't deserve to even work there. The "true" hard workers never got recognized for going above and beyond.

Advice to Senior Management – Corporate should take a closer look at who you have in charge as managers and the managment staff should also be evaluated by their team / staff. I think Corp. would be surprised to find out some of the things that goes on there.

Former Employee – worked at Realogy

Pros – Real Estate is in a terrible place right now, but the Sr Management seems to be trying to work with the government to get it (and the economy as a whole) back on track.

Cons – Some departments have zero opportunity for advancement, with bosses who don't give any recognition except to their favorites.

Current Employee – been working at Realogy

Pros – After a few months, I can report a good environment, good benefits, excellent professional development, opportunities to be involved in the development of some top notch products.

Cons – A bit of micromanagement, poor management of number of projects proceeding simultaneously. The company has obviously downsized substantially through the housing implosion, but hasn't yet adjusted their workload to match their workforce level.

Advice to Senior Management – A little more attention on the business and a little less on national politics
