Pros

Met some really amazing people. Learned a lot from a peer group of very experienced and talented people.

Cons

almost everyone on the NYC executive team quit around the same time due to their manager. that person is still there, so some things never change!

not a serious career

Pros

apartment discounts, meeting awesome people.

Cons

They do not pay you enough to live comfortably in the area. The largest problem, they cap your commission..the more you lease and make them money, the less they pay you...literally. It doesn't make any sense. You will lease a $3000 apartment, but if you have already hit your goal, the commission drops down to about $5-$15 for that lease. Even getting promoted doesn't get you to 6 figures, and you have to be working there for years to get to management unless you make some serious connections with the very higher-ups. They literally prevent you from making money, even if you are a top performer.
