Pros
I am so glad I work at Inside Real Estate. Inside Real Estate isn't a perfect company, but I have grown more in my time here than I have at any other job. There are some parts of the company that can be super frustrating when it feels like you are trying to do the right thing for the company and client, and you have to get close to begging to get help on an escalation or to get someone to take you seriously on a different team. This isn't always the case and I have seen tremendous strides being taken but it can be a source of frustration for those not used to it. This job has made it so that I can roll up my sleeves and be creative with my solutions. There are stressful aspects and you can feel overworked at times, but I came from a company where there was so much red tape that you could not be creative at all. You came in, did the job, and it was hard to stand out and get promoted. I worry with the acquisition that we will be pushed to that type of company because right now you have ownership over your career path at Inside Real Estate. They reward people that learn to speak up, think outside of the box, and are self-sufficient. That might not be everyone's cup of tea for people that need more structure, but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. Inside Real Estate will sharpen you, if you allow it. I truly feel the company cares about the well-being of its people and I have always been made to feel heard and respected in meetings. If anything I am told to be more vocal in meetings. I have never experienced any type of passive aggressiveness that would make me feel disrespected or unable to speak my opinion.
Cons
Lack of systems and processes- it is something they are working on but it can be hard to know who to go to for help and you can get the run around if you do not stay on top of issues. Metrics aren't always shared until well into the quarter so it can be hard to know what to focus on.
