Pros

They provide pretty thorough training, even though it's really just basic sales training. They do have a support staff that will help you, but if you want any real coaching or mentorship they will make you pay for it someway. They are a popular brand name, and you will have a lot of access to successful agents there and opportunities to potentially link up with them or join there teams.

Cons

They charge high desk fees. Any real training or mentorship, beyond there basic sales training, they will make you pay for it. They will give you no leads. You can sign up for desk time, but I got one deal out of that in a year, and I was lucky to get that. They will offer you little support. It's all a numbers game, so the more agents they sign up to the brokerage, the more desk fees and money they're bringing in. Knowing that 9/10 agents fail the first year, it's a revenue stream they created and they don't really care if you succeed or not. My advice is go to work at a smaller company or a property management company where they can give you leads and you can learn the business and build your clientele, instead of learning how to make cold calls and practice cold call scripts for weeks on end. Upper management does not care about you, you're just a statistic to them!

Pros

The tech stack is approachable and easy to work with, and the company offers strong flexibility through remote and hybrid work options, supporting a healthy work-life balance.

Cons

Career growth feels largely dependent on personal relationships with upper management rather than transparent performance metrics or defined advancement paths. Job descriptions and salary ranges lack clarity, making it difficult for employees to understand expectations or long-term opportunities within the organization. There is little to no investment in employee development—no meaningful education budget, limited financial support for professional growth, and few structured career progression initiatives. The company also appears to struggle with its overall identity, both internally and externally. It is often unclear whether the organization sees itself primarily as a technology company, a real estate company, or a CRM/platform business monetizing agents through various add-on products and services. This lack of strategic clarity can create confusion around priorities, culture, and long-term direction.
