- Competitive interview process and rose-tinted company rhetoric lead you to believe that this is a tremendous opportunity with good job security, earnings, and career potential...only to lay off several employees, many before their 90-day evaluation (and, incidentally, unemployment eligibility).
- Classroom training is enthusiastic but ultimately inadequate; after "graduating" from classroom training and being placed on the sales floor, very minimal oversight and guidance is offered.
- Mentoring program promised during interview process is practically non-existent and
- Lead generation is ACTIVELY DISCOURAGED during preliminary 90 days; all CR1 leads are terrible with many being irrelevant, defunct, personal lines, etc leads to a situation with little training/growth opportunity.
- Forced to make false promises to hundreds of prospective customers each week; many opportunities are squandered and loads go uncovered, further squandering future potential for business development.
- Essentially pays entry level employees $600/week to scrub thousands of bad leads in the company's CRM for several months, before ultimately laying off those employees and passing scrubbed leads to more experienced brokerage firms outside the Chicago office.
