Pros

There are no pros to working here.

Cons

They tell agents what they can and can't do; this is my opinion makes them employers who should pay taxes, rather than hire supposedly "independent" contractors. There is no advantage to the client for being in a large name firm.

Pros

CBC has an amazing atmosphere. Everybody was so kind and helpful during my time there. Also they were very trusting of my ability so they weren’t constantly micromanaging me.

Cons

Sometimes the agents took a while to respond to emails.

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.
