Pros

A leader in the real estate industry.

Cons

Inefficient infrastructure and lack of vision to bring large projects to fruition. Often similar initiatives are done redundantly and repeatedly without allowing the time or resources to be completed, when the cycle begins again. There is also generally a lack of respect and commitment to internal support resources from management. While on the one hand this is sensible, since the sales force generates the income and the support force is an expense, it does not make it an enjoyable place to work unless your career path is oriented toward the brokerage, etc... side of the shop.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
