Pros

- Opportunity to interact with clients and gain sales experience - Some helpful guidance from experienced agents - Lead agents will split their commission with you if a sale is made. this is their version of paid training.

Cons

- Limited guidance on internal systems; mostly rely on tips from other agents - Mentorship is inconsistent; shadowing may be with agents who are still learning - Training lacked clarity and didn’t provide adequate time to learn effectively. - Commission-only structure can be challenging for new agents - Most leads provided were aged and had already been called numerous times, reducing success rates

Pros

“Unlimited earning potential” they say

Cons

Cold calls, mediocre products, limited market, pyramid scheme compensation. Go independent and make 2x what you make there, and you get the same support being on your own
