    Used to be the best

    Mar 23, 2023 - Real Estate Agent 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Flexible, Salary, Reimburse agent fees.

    Cons

    Used to not be salsey but the company is now very salesy. Employees are micromanaged like crazy. They tell you how loyal they are but have no issue laying folks off at the first sign of economic falls. The magic with this company is gone, they are now like any other corporation, yet still in denial that they are corporate.

    Pros

    Great platform, amazing business model, and it's wonderful to have your overhead paid.

    Cons

    It'll take years for the majority of folks to start making any decent income. They are only interested in the bottom line. If you're a person with a disability, they will find a reason to let you go.

    Pros

    Work hours and lead generation

    Cons

    Promote mediocrity and hope for the best. It's a sales-based environment that focuses on numbers but leadership has no idea how to train a sales-based environment.

    Horrible Micromanagement.

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great snacks at the office.

    Cons

    Horrible micromanaging by management at multiple levels. Many people in our market were let go during and after a medical leave. Management did not provide critical information causing projects to not even able to be started. New mangers came in and all the values changed. Document non-compliance lead to preventable MLS fines monthly.
