Pros

-This is a great place to get some experience if you are new to the job market and need something to put on your resume. -Great co-workers. -Fun team building events. -Good medical benefits.

Cons

-Fear of being fired on a whim even when you are performing well. -High staff turnover. -Even higher management turnover. -Leaders don't have any experience in the job they are in. -CEO is an arrogant hot head. -Most of the positive reviews on here were written by the Marketing department. -Low wages. People with years of experience get paid the same as those with zero experience. -No room to grow. -Narrow and repetitive jobs. -If you get promoted, you'll probably get fired within 6 months. -Company spins tales to make them sound better than they are. Ie. "we are growing and hired 50 people in the last 6 months" (but fail to mention that 70 people got fired or quit in the same amount of time). -The happy employees are all "yes men" or are faking it so they don't get fired. -Anyone who is actually talented and wants to make REW a better place to work is fired. -Ridiculous non compete that will tie your hands when trying to get a new job.

We agree that the people and culture at Real Estate Webmasters (REW) are second-to-none. We have amazing colleagues - and strive to have a lot of fun at work and at play. We want REW to be one of the best places you've ever worked - and we are sorry that this was not your experience. We did want to take a moment to clarify how REW actually manages some of the key areas you raised here: Compensation: We want the best and brightest on our team, which is why REW benchmarks employee compensation against the local market and the tech sector provincially. Our compensation structure is reviewed against an independent benchmark, supplied by a third-party vendor, on an annual basis. Terminations: One of the toughest decisions any company has to make have to make is to let employees go - and it certainly isn't taken lightly. Working closely with the senior management team, we follow a process designed by our HR professionals. It can be tough, particularly when the communications around such a decision is limited (appropriately so) by privacy concerns. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We wish you the best of luck with your next opportunity.

Pros

Location of the Vancouver office. And the really amazing pool of co-workers (management excluded).

Cons

Kindly filter out any 5 and 4 star reviews because they are either fake or paid or whoever wrote these reviews were high on a cocktail of I-don’t-know-what. The single most reason this organization is such a terrible place is the so-called "management" which comprises of highly unqualified individuals with no real experience in leadership of any sorts and are almost self-aware that this is the farthest they can go in their respective careers and hence have no aspirations to be better at their jobs or actually give any damn about the company or the employees. Taking “directions” from this set of individuals is not only frustrating but also highly comical. Leaders here are so out of line, condescending and unhinged that such individuals could get fired in any other company let alone to be put in leadership role. Or they are completely clueless what the product is about. I have witnessed a number of firings during my time. I agree, there’s only so much leeway you can give to non-performers and that mass-layoffs are inevitable in company of this size during those bad sales months. However, this criteria for firing does not seem to apply to the leadership – the flag bearers of under-achievers in this organization. The employee growth is pretty much stagnant across the organization. Salaries are below average. And life at large for a regular employee is miserable. So if you are desperately in need of a job, you can accept a position here. But do not come in with expectations or high standards.
