>> Work / Life Balance << Expect to sacrifice nearly all the time you'd normally put towards a relationship, kids, hobbies, health, etc. There is no work/life balance whatsoever. The company's regular work week is 6 days with a 7th highly encouraged. You'll be working roughly 70+ hours a week and taking calls from clients & managers as early as 5/6am and as late as midnight. You are expected to bend to a client's every whim and be available to them at all times. You will likely never get the opportunity to take a vacation. Despite the "unlimited PTO" many employees have never taken any significant time off. Sick days are not a thing either. Unless you are physically incapable of working you will still be expected to keep up with everything from your bed at home . Job postings mention you may have to work "a few nights and weekends". This is a massive understatement. You WILL be working late every night & every weekend. Lack of work/life balance is a massive issue at this company and, as you'd expect, it creates high turnover. >> Management << Management is very heavy handed and even abusive at times. Employees would be publicly chastised in front of their teams & the whole company for mistakes big & small. Conflicts with management would sometimes devolve to name-calling and a few times even went as low as insulting an employee's intelligence in front of peers. Employees sometimes break down, crying after meetings or hiding in shame after being yelled at across the office. People comply with management's orders out of fear. >> Constant job duty changes << Management will make decisions about your career with little to no input from you. They will hold close-door meetings where your job descriptions, duties, and responsibilities are entirely changed. Most of these changes will involve assigning you extra responsibilities WITHOUT any adjustment in compensation. >> Confusing & sporadic system changes << Business processes are constantly being changed by management without any input from the teams that use them. This creates a constant state of confusion. Nobody knew what was really going on because things changed so often, and employees were not trained on any of it. >> Stressed teams & coworkers << With everyone so overworked help is very hard to come by. Asking for help too often will earn you negative marks among your colleagues for being a burden on their time. To avoid punishments employees will throw their peers under the bus with little hesitation. People gossip and play politics. Rarely do peers or management ever acknowledge a job well done. Some teams are held in much higher regard than others. Those not on the "favorite" teams will feel like nothing more than a business expense necessary to ensure the success of said favorite teams. >> Questionable practices << In the nature of "winning" Management and high-ranking team members will sometimes "encourage" employees to engage in unethical practices. Lying to other realtors, lenders, and even their own clients is a common theme. Occasionally people were even asked to lie to property owners so business could be conducted at their homes without consent. You essentially need to say whatever it takes to "win" a deal for the company. It was alarming how few people raised concerns about this.
