      Okay, but not safe.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Contacts. You will meet a number of people with connections in various areas. The name is strong as well. Alot work can be done on ones own time.

      Cons

      Company business is focused on one of the worst markets to deal with right now, which is residential homes and developments. Recently an office with a broker bringing in over a million on his own had to shut down all four of his branches due to terrible market conditions. There is little to fall back on, and clearly when things are in the rough, there is no guarantee you will be safe from any loss or cuts.

      Better opportunities with other brokers

      Pros

      This was a small locally owned office, and if you are willing to work extremely hard, you will make it. The office was centrally located and easy to find for those buyers who are new to the area. Management is very approachable and is very helpful to new agents just getting started. Some of the older agents are very welcoming and will help out new agents with advice from getting started to running a successful business. Corporate has all the tools an agent will need online, and the online classes are easy and convenient, where you can network with other agents from around the country.

      Cons

      Hard to break into the "good ole boys club"; older more experienced agents are coddled and given more opportunities by management, at least this was my experience with the broker I worked for. Even thought this is a a national real estate brokerage chain, the views of the national company are not always shared by the local independently owned brokerage firm. In our office, our managing broker was very thrifty and wouldn't spring for new technology, charged an exoritant fee for monthly dues, there was very little office administrative support to the individual realtor, and sometimes we wait for a couple of hours for our turn to sit at the one computer linked to the color laser printer.

      You won't get rich selling Real Estate.

      Pros

      Great Training and continuous information updating. Extraordinary resources such as online classes, ordering or print forms, post cards, etc. There is no company out there that has any better resource program - however - these classes cost money! And Century 21 continually encourages you to take the courses, at your own expense, and not much consideration is given to the fact that a Realtors take home pay is very small when you consider that we pay our own medical, dental insurance, all the auxiliary fees and costs associated with being a realtor, and then have to pay income taxes out of what is left - which isn't much.

      Cons

      Too many fees taken from the commission check, considering that there are absolutely no benefits, retirement plan, and that taxes must be paid from the commission check. A huge amount of hours are required on a weekly basis in order to "stay alive" in this business - and even with that, you are not guaranteed success. Advertising is a huge expense also.
