Pros

Pay is ok to good, but the role has changed from a sales rep position to pure account management. You used to get 300 accounts and it was all about gross selling. If you were good at this you could be clearing 150-200k. They only give 100 accounts now and it’s all about retention. In this market so tough. People are in fact amazing, they look out for one another. The sad part is they have to look out for you from upper management. It’s sad because this job seemed so promising, and people have been here for years but you can tell they want voluntary turnover.

Cons

Currently shifting to an unprepared product called showcase. This product is so bad at the moment as the onboarding for most people in real estate has not been done correctly. A part of it is we have been told to sell this product like crazy another part of it is real estate agents purchase this product and have no buy in to completely use it. Now we are all getting hit with crazy cancels and frustrated clients as we advisors do not fully know how to use this constantly changing product. It’s hurting our paychecks They took our commission away last minute for this spiff. It was so bad for some advisors. People losing out on 1k or more. Directors have no direction and want to micromanage an absurd amount as they are constantly doing changes.

Pros

Just the pay and perks.

Cons

They judge more in popularity not results. If you do get negative feedback don’t expect examples. Everything is the opposite if the culture they claim to be. Expect a lot of travel.
