Pros

KWRI does a great job at getting employees to drink the Kool-Aid.

Cons

This review is for KWRI. Don't be fooled by image. Suggest looking elsewhere if you're new to Austin or have solid professional experience. Only reason KWRI achieved "Best Places to work" is because they included Market Centers. If anything the working conditions was Toxic. Very little substance at this company due to poor management and profit share being the deciding factor. There was very little professional development and/ or low employee success. If you get in, get out before you pick up bad habits.

Pros

Large corporation that has good name recognition. We're eager to sign me up as a new agent. Branches all over the city.

Cons

After getting signed up and spending hundreds of dollars, I have gotten zero support from management. No follow up, no calls, no direction. Very frustrated and disappointed.

Pros

The office building is nice and clean. You can bring clients there but who does that...

Cons

They call it "free training" when you're paying a monthly fee. Then when you complete your "free" training, they push these expensive training sessions that are paid week long events. Let me summarize your FREE training for you here: "hold open houses on weekends" then "send thank you notes" and "call your dentist and tell them you are a realtor now!" There you go. You can now move on with your real estate career with all of that vast knowledge I have cliff noted for you and saved your time and monthly fee. You're welcome. Now heed my advise. Go somewhere that will actually buddy you up with a real estate agent who will let you shadow or be a buyers agent for their team. Don't buy into this scheme at KW. Your team leader only wants to meet their goal. Everyone is cut throat.
