Pros

I actually really enjoyed my coworkers, everyone except the broker I was working under was great. Really nice and professional. Good name recognition, although this company is obviously not the best, you can find better.

Cons

There is so much to say about the toxicity that is brokerage assisting. Brokers will treat you great while they're in a good mood and their deals are going well, but as soon as something goes wrong, they will take it out on you and everything you do will be unsatisfactory and cause them to treat you even worse. They're too busy "doing deals" to treat you like a human or invest in your knowledge and development. The broker started literally ignoring me for a whole month and refused to even let me talk to him for a few minutes to resolve the issues. They will expect you to figure out how to do everything perfectly very quickly. They use ten different applications to run the company and you will need to know how to use all of them, each with protocols and approvals. Unless become an agent and start producing for the company, you won't matter and your career won't progress. As some of the other reviews were saying, this is not a good place for females - they just don't get respect and are generally unhappy and looked down upon. The brokers will say things about you behind your back, including brokers from other companies. Top heavy structure - meaning the top grossing brokers basically power steer the company and always get their way. No one lower matters. LOTS of internal bureaucracy, conflict, and politics. Management will not correct the brokers' behaviors. Just don't expect anything besides a cold reality check into the the world that is commercial real estate. You won't get anywhere by being nice or playing by the rules. Literally everyone is just a resource.

Pros

Decent office, PTO, and Benefits.

Cons

Worst company I’ve ever worked at! No transparency from leadership. Lack of direction from leadership. Employees are set to fail from the beginning, with daily changing priorities and zero communication. Leadership blames employees for mistakes that are set up by leadership. A revolving door, employees disappeared every two, three, six, and eight months. Some employees resigned, and others were laid off, and there is no explanation from leadership. Many employees take the offer and leave their current employer, only to find out it's the biggest mistake they've made by coming to work at this company. Many high-producing brokers feel that they are “Gods.” Every team works in silos. This company has no culture at all. Don't work for this company, run the other way!
