Very Expensive to Work Here

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of offices in the area.

Cons

The technology is very difficult to use. Everything requires dozens of steps. They keep raising the fees to work there and you already give them a high percentage of your commission. You get very little for the money. There are not a lot of people on staff to help the agents. They are now asking to hold your credit cards so they can charge you by the 2nd of January. The company hasn't made a profit yet. They are desperate for money.

Pros

I don't there are any pro's left

Cons

terrible management, they are totally clueless, are in meetings all day, and have no idea what is happening. They are outsourcing jobs and not letting the agent community know. The few people who are left and haven't quit or been laid off are all miserable. Also they keep cutting benefits, also if you're near your sabbatical you'll probably be laid off before you make it.
