Pros

I'm thinking, I'm thinking. I really cannot say there is a single positive thing about working at this joke of an "employment agency"

Cons

There is not enough space in this app to accurately describe how awful it is to work for temps plus. Imagine paying hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours to get your real estate license in California and hope to work for a new home builder. This company, temps plus, dangles the hope of finding you work with a new home builder like a carrot in front of a monkey. You will get called five or 10 minutes before an assignment begins. They will ask you to fill in at the last moment, and it often great distances. You will arrive at the builder, completely unprepared and looking like a buffoon for not knowing what you're supposed to be doing. And by the way that's how the licensed sales agents at the builder likes it. They don't want you upstaging them. So you will never, ever get hired with the builder through this process. You will sit there behind the desk off and all by yourself all day long without the ability to eat or take a five-minute break, have no visitors or very few and heaven for bid you should actually entice a prospective homeowner to purchase the home -- you are SOL. The Recruitment Dept. of this company should be fired and these kind of companies should be outlawed. Temps Plus pays a couple nickels above minimum-wage, yet you are supposed to put on airs as though you are a true real estate executive dressed to the nine's and filled with knowledge. None of which is true . Do not believe their promise that you will get hired by a builder. It never happens it won't happen for you

Pros

If you just want a part time gig, this is for you. Could possibly lead to a position with a builder or, at least, that's what they tell you. You can learn about the new home industry.

Cons

Having done this for over two years, I can say that you are treated with no respect. You can work hard, help get sales for them, and not even a thank you from management. I was told by Temps Plus, that after six months of working at a new home community, I should have no problems getting a job with a builder. Well, not true. Of course, that's my experience, and I am an older agent. I applied several times to the builders I temped for, and crickets. They use you, and overlook you. It's humiliating. A bigwig in marketing at one of the communities I worked at came in to the office one day (dressed very shabbily) looked me up and down and talked down to me, because I was the temp. My takeaway is this: If you're young and have some real estate experience but no new home sales experience and want to work for a builder, you have a much better chance getting in with them then an older person with lots of resale experience and no new home experience! If you're older and have mainly worked for a new home builder, then you have a good shot.
