Pros

Great brand good marketing tools and systems global presence Friendly culture great internet site Ok technologies great training good benefits

Cons

Cosistent layoffs since 2006 due to recent economy downturn make it very unsettling for the staff who are left behind. Poor career advancement opportunities. Corporate culture can be stiff and unapproachable. In the field as opposed to HQ one is very isolated from the 'mother ship.'

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.
