Pros
They'll hire those without real estate experience and train them. It can be fun, almost like high school. You don't need to be particularly educated or carry credentials with pedigree. They value loyalty so if you're not that smart, not that educated, but willing to stick around, you'll outlast the rotation of actual talent that passes through the company for better opportunities.
Kontras
Operates like a mom and pop instead of a publicly traded international company. Brokerage is a boys club with rampant sexual harassment, which is accepted in the culture. Brokers treated like gods, supporting staff treated as disposable. Cliquey and gossipy, stemming from senior leadership. The different service groups don't communicate with one another - tons of lost opportunity to sell the full service package to clients.
