Pros

Awesome coworkers and benefits. Had a strong start.

Cons

Leadership is a joke, especially the CEO. I have never met such a fragile male ego in my life. So egotistical and talk about pride before the fall. Humility is not in his vocabulary. The company is trying to run before learning to walk and the lending side of the business had a terrible start logistically because of it. Completely disorganized where clients and employees all suffered. Leadership needs to take a step back and really think about how to change for the better.

Thank you for the feedback. I am proud that I can honestly say I ate a big piece of humble pie and left my pride in a ditch when I wrote probably the most transparent CEO account of a company's current history in the tell-all on my personal blog at SeanBlack.com titled Knock’s Wild Ride from $2B to $220M in 12 Months, but maybe you missed it. In this case, I regret that we were unable to help you overcome your performance issues and you had to be terminated, leading to this review. But I can assure you were are working closely with all our positive, high-performing Knockstars to continually learn and improve each and every day. Here's a link to the blog post that illustrates that commitment https://www.seanblack.com/blog/wild-ride-from-2b-to-220m

Pros

Amazing people on the team who provide a great solution to a common real estate problem: helping clients buy-then-sell.

Cons

The fast-paced environment is fun! But it's not for people looking for a slow stroll.

Pros

Knock really has all the pros you look for in a company: great culture, amazing benefits, team culture, work-from-home, flexibility, base pay with strong bonus structure, fun company events. The role-specific pros would be that there is a great support system in place where you have guidance and fast access to others on the team for questions without feeling micromanaged. Knock has a really great program that is easy to learn and articulate to our partners and, with so many benefits, it is an easy sell.

Cons

These could be pros or cons depending on what you are looking for but it is a fast-paced environment that is constantly changing. Sometimes changes are rolled out prematurely. But almost all of the changes are very positive and our partners love the updates and in turn we succeed more as AEs.
