Pros

You are still a part of a company, and can learn a lot if you choose to, especially if you want to figure out how to save a company from going under. It forces you to be creative, and since there are so few employees after the lay offs, your ideas are at the very least entertained.

Cons

They try to stiff you in any way that they can regarding pay. You're 15 minutes late..that gets docked from your check, even if you're salaried. The CEO is arrogant, refuses to ask for help when he needs it, manipulative to not only his employees but also to clients. Constantly trying to appease angry real estate agents. Unwillingness to update the platform to cut costs, constantly in court.

Pros

We provide a valuable service to home buyers and sellers that help them get better deals. I completely disagree with the negative reviews stating there is no work/life balance--I have a toddler, and not once has my job here ever interfered with me picking him up on time. I like the atmosphere where everyone works hard and you aren't micro-managed.

Cons

I wish more people knew about us--we are NOT a scam as some other people have said--we provide a genuine service to home buyers and sellers that gives them unbiased reviews of real estate agent. Nothing in our business model is unethical-it is very upsetting to me that people say that when it simply isn't true.

Pros

My internship at NeighborCity was a fulfilling learning experience. During my time there, I worked closely with the founders and leaders of the company, which provided me with the opportunity to see how small, burgeoning startups are successfully run. This opportunity also afforded me a great amount of personal responsibility in which I would report directly to top-management on my projects and progress. The feedback I received on daily tasks was constructive, encouraging, and often enthusiastic which fostered a positive work environment where I was motivated to work hard for the benefit of the team. In a business focused on customer satisfaction, my teammates were always positive, friendly, and approachable. There was a high-level of communication within the office which created an easy-going, yet focused and efficient work environment. For those interested in observing a hardworking startup from the inside and working with incredibly welcoming and helpful co-workers, NeighborCity is the place for you.

Cons

There is a heavy workload and they were in the process of hiring, so work at times was a bit hectic. Also, protocols are developing everyday, which can be confusing at times, but this is actually an opportunity to take initiative and aid in making the company more efficient.
