Pros
ZERO. There are NO Pros to working here.
Cons
No leads provided. Mandatory cold calling 3 hours a day with no regard to the Do Not Call List. Telemarketing/cold calls are NOT the only way to generate leads (what year is this!?) however they tell agents that they will fail if they don't spend 21 hours a week doing this. Absolutely NO support, expensive monthly fees (even though you do not get your own desk and the commission split is abysmal), expensive mandatory classes and books that are unhelpful, HUGE pressure on agents to pay thousands of dollars for expensive motivational self help seminars and bogus"coaching". Terrible commission splits. Weird cult/EST vibe. GOD is the first thing mentioned in the company mission statement. Religion should not have anything to do with a brokerage firm. Feels more like a MLM/Pyramid/Ponzi than a real estate brokerage firm. Team leaders/Coaches are more focused on recruiting new agents than on fostering the growth of their agents. How can you receive any real training and help if your coach is too busy trying to recruit agents all day every day while "coaching" 50 new agents? The answer is you can't. Too much emphasis on "having a positive mindset" and other vague unhelpful mantras you would find in something like the book The Secret. Not enough emphasis on making sure the agents follow Real Estate Laws, know what they are doing and are prepared for listing presentations, showings, contracts and any problems that may arise. Major rip off.
