Pros

Has great name/brand recognition at all price points (low-, medium-, and high-priced housing). It also has great software/technology for agents to utilize.

Cons

The company takes a large chunk of each agent's commission in return for "services" that many agents don't necessarily utilize or find helpful (e.g. educational offerings that are not particularly helpful).

Pros

Recognition due to the name

Cons

Although we are independent contractors,the broker continues to micromanage and it’s unbelievable how much money they take from our commissions.

Pros

I loved working with the agents. It was a good way to get into marketing especially if you have real estate experience.

Cons

There is no upwards mobility. This company invests heavily into diversity and if you are not part of a certain demographic, you will not get promoted. There were also frequent layoffs while I was there.
