Circus Business - Anonymous employee Fusion Real Estate Network Employee Review

This company is doing things that no other company I know is doing. They invest in small businesses, mostly real estate agents(think shark tank or the profit) and provide a ton of services and values to help them grow. I have been here for 3 years and from the start we had some rough patches, but over all the management and the company want to do great for their clients and their employees. We have had several people who had left the job after being here awhile earlier because they then had more opportunity due to what they learned and their experiences and the company applauds personal growth and achievement. The company always tries to promote from within. Every management position was awarded to someone within except one recently. I started here as a minimum wage employee and now I am running my own department and I earn a very healthy salary. I am very thankful for that. The company believes in serving others and its community and offers up to 8 hours paid time per quarter to volunteer for any cause you feel passionate about. I also appreciate those efforts.

The cons are this. The work environment is about getting things done and doing the best you can. You are held responsible for your work product and that sometimes is a little stressful. However our clients rely on us doing a good job so I understand it.

They have some great marketing ideas and plans - however, very rarely are they consistently carried out. Or if they are carried out, it is only for a couple of months. Their story letter and branding are great but now that they are taking it to the masses, it looses some of its uniqueness and marketing power.

I have been with Fusion as a Real Estate agent for over 3 years. At first, they did everything they promised, then one day it stopped without notice. When we asked about it, Fusion Management either ignored our concerns or simply pushed it back to the coach or worse yet, even blamed it on the coach. They come up with a new plan every 6 months or so - mostly because the CEO has no idea how to run a profitable business. They promise the moon and deliver very little. Super high turnover of office staff which is never communicated to the field. You never know who will be helping you or if anyone is there to help you with transactions, marketing, etc. The acting broker is off limits and does not/will not answer questions from agents. The office manager is rude and disrespectful - probably learned from the CEO. Even if she makes a mistake on your commission, you have to fight to get her to fix it. I thought this was going to be a great place to hang my license but unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed.
