Pros

its really easy to be seen as a shining star, because most people here are idiots

Cons

The realtors are NIGHTMARES. They're the most unrealistic and pompous people you've ever met, they act as though they are sparkly unicorns that walk on water, and every small problem they feel is fit to go straight to the CEO about. The total lack of respect for support staff is disgusting and in any regular corporate environment, the majority of these people would be fired. The worst part is, corporate management are too scared to reprimand them as they're worried they'll leave the brokerage and take their commission checks with them, so nothing is done about it. I warn you- don't work here if you dont have thick skin or cant handle being treated like crap.

Pros

Typical start up perks: beautiful offices, stocked fridges, lots of resources

Cons

Difficult to navigate tools needed as an agent. So much emphasis on how advanced the tech is but support is lacking.

Pros

Surrounded by a bunch of reasonably smart staff, that's a plus. Pay is at bottom/mid of market level, but people are excited to be on ground floor of a start-up. They put New York employees who come to Beverly Hills office into nice hotel rooms.

Cons

The support staff is filled with fresh people who have interesting ideas, but no real Real Estate background. So too many inexperienced people giving advice on how to run internal structure, only to be over-ridden by another inexperienced person who enthusiastically pushes new untested ideas. Many minor mistakes in ordering and reordering office infrastructure, furnishings, supplies, etc. Give real estate agents access to technology and a social chat platform, and expect them to revolutionize the industry? Maybe Not? Is the Real Estate industry really going to be revolutionized by giving the real estate agents access to google docs and an in-house social platform?The real estate agents all struggle to use the tech, and not many sales being closed in the short term, but I guess that is to be expected in a new office. Office is definitely burning through money though.
