Pros
-Convenient location in Downtown -Nice office and views
Cons
-Demeaning workplace culture. You were never fully trusted with your work. Some brokers were extremely rude and very demanding and made you feel less. -Toxic masculinity. A lot of all male broker teams while the females were mainly the assistants/administrative staff and treated poorly. -Expected to work outside office hours with no overtime pay. No boundaries between brokers' requests to admin staff after hours. -Little to no training. -Lots of turnover. Many lay offs -Stuck in their old ways and not open to changes. -No workplace flexibility. Once things began to open up, expected to go back into the office full time. -No boost in workplace morale especially during COVID lockdown work from home situation. Very isolating, no checkins from management to check in on mental health, or workplace group zoom activities to build relationships with coworkers, not even lunch appreciation over Zoom. -Very cliquey -No career growth. Faster growth at other brokerages. -Not a good place for your mental health. -Hierarchy, treated like royalty if you make money for the business (i.e. top of the top brokers) vs administrative staff who support the brokers are treated bottom of the barrel. Even junior brokers and brokers who don't generate a lot of income are treated poorly, lots of work and effort for little to no reward or props.
