Pros

Health benefits were decent and time off was adequate. Lots a pointless birthday parties where you get food and cake. Most of my coworkers were nice.

Cons

This was not a real estate agent position. It was administrative. Don't expect to get promoted anywhere or ever get a raise. I applied for a job in another department down the hall that would have been a much better fit over my entry-level position. I had the blessing of both VPs in both departments, but HR wouldn't let me move because I hadn't been there 90 days. I lost the job to someone else because they needed it filled. I spent the next year and a half with no where to move (up) and no raise in sight. I became so very frustrated and left with much less respect for this well-known, regional real estate company.

Pros

Long history in the DMV, knowledgeable leadership, most all who have been agents themselves, welcoming atmosphere, teamwork encouraged, terrific admin

Cons

They have been hiring too many agents to keep up sales volume to compete with Compass who has lured away many of our top agents. This has taken away some of the appeal of the "hands on" local brokerage
