      Pros

      Great training program and good for building connections in the CRE industry for wherever you may end up. (Investor, developer, broker)

      Cons

      Eat what you kill. Earn only what you sell is an environment a lot of people cannot tolerate. If you stick it through a year or two the benefits can be outstanding.

      I have been working at Marcus & Millichap full-time

      Pros

      I like my team, some nice/cool people.

      Cons

      Some of the personalities are extremely annoying, un-necessarily yelling/swearing for literally no reason. It comes off as over-compensating.

      I have been working at Marcus & Millichap full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      -There is new management in this office which has sparked strong positive change.
      -Great training, which can't be found in any other brokerage that is tailored around the skills you use as a broker.
      -Culture of hard work ethic
      -Great senior agents who are well respected in town and get deals done
      -Friendly, collaborative culture
      -Ability to make six figures if you put in the work
      -You have freedom. No one is telling you when to arrive and leave the office, or how to use your time. You decide what is going to elevate your business and you carry it out (this is what makes some unable to thrive in this environment, you need to be self-driven, no one will hold your hand and guide you through to the end)

      Cons

      -Not for lazy people. You only make it to earn a good salary if you put in the work
      -If you're afraid of putting yourself out there and making a lot of calls/grinding, don't waste your time. If you're going to accept that it takes time to build a pipeline and actually have people to sell real estate for and to, then hop aboard, you are welcome here!

      Advice to Management

      Keep up what you're doing. The office's culture is growing stronger each month. Recruits are great. I feel well supported to succeed.

      Pros

      Unlimited Earning Potential, Lots of training and development, great mentorship program with highly talented mentors, and freedom. If you don't have a good personal drive to get things done or are bad with people, this industry is not for you. Marcus & Millichap gives you the tools to succeed and build your own business. There is lots of opprotunity's here with a partner (manager) who will set you up to succeed, but you will only do so if you follow their advice and training.

      Cons

      High barriers to entry, you have to provide your own computer and pay about $3000 for licensing and training (not all at once). East Coast dress code, Suit & Tie everyday.

      Advice to Management

      Lower barriers to entry
