Too much out of pocket both in time and money.
Pros
Brand recognition. That's it.
Cons
Too much out of pocket both in time and money. Nothing provided for your success beyond long classroom setting training. Much of the initial training is elementary. Many of us in those classes noted the same, as if they were teaching people the basics of what most would consider common sense. Beyond that, many of us were turned off by the inauthentic ways of dealing with people, akin to neuro-linguistic programming others. Percentage to agents on sales no comparison to smaller brokerages. Broker receives a salary ... CB corporation receives the commission. Broker has little incentive but to make headcount for his/her office with sights set on corporate promotion out of the brokerage and a raise in salary. Charging the agents for nearly everything, except their first name tag and pack of business cards. Again, no incentive if the agents are already paying for everything that they could purchase on their own.
