RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Redfin full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Redfin offers a supportive work environment that's truly team-based. Everyone helps others to succeed. Redfin is growing fast in the Philadelphia market, and new opportunities in varying roles open up all the time. The business model is different than what many agents are used to -- and it's the future! It's all about customer satisfaction and accountability.
Cons
It's important to set customer expectations and boundaries to keep your sanity -- there are lots of customers, which is a good thing!

Pros
Great benefits and I loved my coworkers.
Cons
Lack of leader ship and vision. Managers with little to no experience trying to tell you how to do your job.
Advice to Management
Get qualified, take classes, learn the ins and outs of each role before you give direction on how to perfect a position. It's unrealistic to just shadow and assume you know someone's job.

Great environment and culture. Lots of room to advance and grow. Mission driven.

Pros
free food and millennial friendly workplace but don't let these bells and whistles fool you.
decent benefits.Cons
no federal holidays off
awful working hours
some people do nothing all day due to their markets of coverage but get paid the same amount as people whose markets are busy all day and work like dogs. same price same job title waaaaay different amounts of work
people scream sing and play all day and if you need a quieter environment for working, you are penalized for it
CHICAGO HUB is NOT the same as Redfin corporate in Seattle!!! The Corporate office might be OK to work at, do not work at HUB you'll regret it - hold out to work at the corporate location.
many process redundancies and extremely disorganized but your manager with little to no work experience won't see this or fix anything - you'll get in trouble for bringing it up.
culty vibe here. you can be a hard worker but if you don't drink their underpaid koolaid, you're out.Advice to Management
actually manage and change things for the better instead of flaunting your ill-earned "power" around. Management is largely incompetent. Nothing gets done and if there is a problem it is your fault. Nothing is ever fixed. This company just doesn't want to get it. The HUB here treats employees worse and like common fast food workers. Very factory esque vibe but no unionization here.
