Pros

Not having to do real work for a living

Cons

Sleezy agents who will steal your listings and photos. They charge you ridiculous "technology fees" and other nonsense, and provide nothing any other higher-split brokerage doesn't. Silly you if you buy into their corporate branding nonsense. No one cares about what brokerage you work for. It's about what you can provide to the customer (your listings and service). You think brand means anything in real estate? Get over yourself. All landlord and customers care about is what listings you can show them and rent, not the silly brand you work for. Never work for this company. Stay far away from scumbag brokerages like this. On top of this, they will spam you to death despite repeated Opt Out requests, each agent constantly adding you back. Would give -3 stars if I could. There is no reason to ever work at a company like this.

Pros

Day to day is very independent since usually only one marketing person works in each office, employees are very smart and professional, company gives the latest hardware for employee usage, some fun team bonding perks once or twice a year. Good work/life balance.

Cons

No flex/hybrid schedule despite being a "tech company", many agents have huge egos and will talk down to employees, not a lot of growth opportunity despite constant asks to do big things, agents are always treated with priority whereas employees are disposable.
