Good starting out point

Pros

Great place to start your career in marketing, design

Cons

Very minimal growth potential in work load and responsibilities, title advancement, as well as salary. For those assigned to branch offices, extra work is delegated in regards to administrative and clerical work, not to mention light IT support for agents. Some offices do not offer private spaces for staff members, but instead open work spaces. Marketing in branch offices are limited to 1 or 2 staff members, unlike a whole team at other leading brokerages. No support from branch manager.

Cons

As an Independent Contractor, your need to be ambitious to succeed. Commission only positions can be challenging when slow market conditions exist. Finding business in the beginning can be very challenging. Being in an Realtor requires some money time and during the learning curve.
