Pros

-Friendly environment, even though everyone is too busy to help you out. -Decent training but honestly you can get it all from the MREA book. Don't bother paying for any of their training, especially BOLD. Not worth it.

Cons

-Takes at least half your paycheck, and not getting anything in return. -Little support, all they care about is getting your money. -HORRIBLE technology. Worst systems I have ever seen. Especially considering all the money they make off new agents they should be able to afford better. -BEST decision I made was leaving them last month.

Pros

Lots of quality training available, once in a while they may throw you a lead.

Cons

High monthly fee's, charges for all office supplies, inconvenient training times, crazy commission splits (the location I worked at took 36% of all sales you make), if you opt to join a team the splits are even worse. If you feel like a 60/40ish split is good and fair, by all means ignore my cons, but if that's an issue you should really check other places as some only have a 10% or even less split and cheaper monthly fee's.. training might not be that great but they don't rip you off. Almost forgot, they have this referral program where if you can get an agent to sign up with KW they will give you a very small percentage a month of that person's sells for the life of that person's duration with the company, the more people you refer the bigger your monthly bonus check is (to me it's reminiscent of a Ponzi scheme to me).

Pros

Excellent business building systems which, if applied correctly will work to build a successful business in any industry.

Cons

Company is filled with and tends to attract completely phony, two faced people who use everyone around them while under the pretense they care deeply for them. Lots of smile in your face, talk behind your back little cliques. 98% are very low production and low quality agents who speak the language and try to mimic the top few agents in the company. Picture a child walking around in adults big shoes and hat pretending to be grown up. This is the environment of being around agents at kw. The recruiting concept looks good from the outside but in reality causes people to mislead others to want to join the company by highlighting the upsides and covering up all of the major down sides.
