Pros

Plenty of work. Beverages in break room.

Cons

The department I worked in, had too much work and not enough employees. Many employees were willing to put in the time to get the work completed and hit their deadlines. HOWEVER, they were told NOT to put in any overtime. Several of these employees were also new to CBC Advisors. They told me they had minimal training, if any. One manager told me repeatedly they did not trust the majority of those that reported to her/him. On a side note, I later was told by a co-worker that this same manager said they "hated" a specific employee they supervised. This same manager desperately needs to pick up people skills. Including how to: 1) TRUST!, 2) address issues/problems correctly and 3) not humiliate people in public (this makes everyone uncomfortable, even those not involved). Reports for each property varied due to a desire to cater to each owners' wants. Is it possible to customize things yes. However, keep some consistency.

Pros

Recognition due to the name

Cons

Although we are independent contractors,the broker continues to micromanage and it’s unbelievable how much money they take from our commissions.

Pros

I loved working with the agents. It was a good way to get into marketing especially if you have real estate experience.

Cons

There is no upwards mobility. This company invests heavily into diversity and if you are not part of a certain demographic, you will not get promoted. There were also frequent layoffs while I was there.
