Pros

The office is very diverse and authentic in the desire for all boats to rise when we all share best practices.

Cons

Keller Williams offers profit share which is wonderful yet agents are required to pay for absolutely everything when it comes to the running of the office. A majority of the big training happens out of state which requires a substantial financial commitment for agents to take advantage of the highest levels of training.

Dysfunctional Workplace

Pros

If you're after a steady paycheck, this is definitely the right place.

Cons

Career growth is mentioned in almost all job descriptions for corporate positions. Unfortunately, career growth is not based on one's background, knowledge, qualifications or ability. It merely depends on if you're part of the right social circle. Positions are often given to uncredentialed and under-qualified relatives and friends, and they are hired without jobs being posted. Director of HR, for an example, is uncredentialed. Her job is to please the executives rather than being the advocate for both the company and the people who work in the company. Of all departments, MarCom likely to be the worst of all. Can't expect much from this team when it's led by someone with very limited experience and often makes decisions based on emotions. Lots of blaming throughout the entire company. Management cares only for their personal gain. Most leaders, besides the President of MAPS, fail to identify talents. When they see talents, they see them as threats. This explains the exceedingly high turnover rate.

Stay away from I.T. Dept.

Pros

KW is a great company with many smart, capable people through out the company. Nice culture with annual bonus - called the "gift" employee events etc.

Cons

The I.T. department is a horrible, dysfunctional place that rewards mediocrity, incompetence and hostility. Led by a family member of an executive with little or no I.T. or management experience, the department is in sad shape - anyone who has any talent or marketable skills are gone leaving behind the incompetent. There is a strange structure in place with a horde of middle managers who have no one to manage and no accountability for anything. Every vendor relationship turns out to be a bad one. Stay away from I.T. if you have any talent, ability, like to be rewarded for being competent or like to work with other minded people. If you happen to be related or connected to any of the senior management staff and can't get a job on your own - it will be a great place for you.
