Jan 27, 2023 - Agent Experience Coordinator in Chicago, ILRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I could set my own schedule loved the people i worked with loved the high speed nature of real estate liked the agent teams surrounding me learned the basics of a bunch of new systems tons of training
Cons
ADA / Disability accommodations: I had told them prior to entering that i had multiple chronic illnesses and that part of the reason i was applying was due to their "unlimited sick time" policy. I also made sure to make every person I interviewed with aware of my illnesses and need for some understanding/accommodation. Well i was out too much and they asked me to apply for leave even though I hadn't been working there a year yet so I wouldn't qualify. I was laid off in the company wide lay offs before this got resolved but figured i'd mention it anyways

Lots of bumps in the road when we lose members of our office support team to layoffs
