Pros

None ever. Sometimes there were nice agents but the fact that my pto were some kind people because of the toxicity is sad

Cons

My manager would harass me and a few other women in the office physically and verbally. I was the only one comfortable enough to say no please stop that. Other male agents in the office would harass me and one time one try to kiss me on the head and I said please don’t do that and the office manager said he had a daughter so it’s not creepy and I shouldn’t get so angry. Verbal abuse was daily and it drained me or I would just become so upset and sad that it seemed to be normal. No one was ever truly happy there except the people making the big bucks and they don’t respect the staff at all. Coldwell Banker is a giant corporation that’s been around for over 100 years and their focus is to make money like most corporations. The fact that I would have to call corporate and tell them of my concerns almost weekly or monthly is concerning and I wasn’t the only one. When I eventually quit it was myself and the two other female staff members that left because we couldn’t take it anymore. Do you feel trapped. And nobody respects you. My manager at the time even though she was very great told me well this is what you do when you’re a people pleaser. I’m not a people pleaser but if you are and you enjoy serving others while they beat you down and then I guess you can work here but life‘s too short

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

Coldwell Banker has a recognizable, legacy brand and there are many talented, dedicated employees who genuinely care about their work. Teams are often collaborative, and there are opportunities to work on large-scale, high-visibility initiatives. From the outside, the company presents itself well and has strong brand positioning in the market.

Cons

There is a significant disconnect between leadership messaging and the actual employee experience. The handling of recent layoffs was particularly disappointing—high-performing employees were let go with little transparency, and the communication around it felt impersonal and overly scripted. For a company that frequently speaks about valuing people, the actions did not reflect that. Morale has taken a hit as a result, and trust in leadership has been impacted. Workloads can be heavy, and expectations remain high even as teams are reduced, without meaningful acknowledgment or support. There is also a tendency to prioritize optics over substance, especially in communications, which can feel frustrating for those doing the work behind the scenes.
