Pros

There is some work life balance, pay is decent enough, used to be a great company, now it's horrible.

Cons

--The pay is nowhere near enough for what you go through on a weekly basis --Agents treat the staff like literal crap and upper management tells you to "deal with it" --Horrible management --Nepotism among the leadership teams --Retail Employment philosophy - seasonal hours, 25% seasonal pay cuts, etc. --Management has never worked in real estate and most come from Amazon --The TransOp department has leadership that will discriminate, with no accountability from HR/P&C --ABSOLUTELY ZERO GROWTH at a company I've been with for 5 years, while also having had almost 10 managers my first year and several the following year, and several more the year after that. --DATA, DATA, DATA - everything is based on data, they even track everything you do on your computers now via a security system by Banyan. --If you want to grow, make sure to brown-nose to the regional management teams, they hold all the real power for lower level employees --Low level managers are over worked and under appreciated

Pros

People are smart. Very much a “move fast and break things” culture which can be refreshing compared to bureaucracy-heavy corporate life. I don’t agree with their values (if they have any) but what they’re doing is unquestionably working - business outlook is strong.

Cons

Leadership will tell you there’s no ego or self-interest involved in their strategy - that is untrue. It’s an extremely heliocentric culture around the CEO. A lot of the work is based around what people they're guessing he’ll like, but there’s no alignment at the outset and something you worked on for weeks/months will be trashed after one look from him. Their mission is ostensibly about empowering agents but they are solving a problem that pretty much no one was complaining about before they started, and which just so happens to work highly in their favor in terms of market share. It’s just business but very disingenuous- don’t believe the hype that it’s altruistic somehow. Also the CEO loves to share his sob story about his single mother upbringing, but simultaneously enacts some of the most anti-parent policies you could think of.
