Pros

If you are a favorite you can make a decent living. However majority of people are very unhappy.

Cons

This is hands-down the most toxic and exploitative work environment I’ve ever experienced. The company operates on favoritism, manipulation, and fear—disguised behind a polished brand image. Leadership will say all the right things publicly, but behind the scenes, they reward dishonesty, suppress fairness, and push their salespeople to the brink. Unethical behavior is not only allowed—it’s rewarded. Agents who lie to buyers or use shady tactics are applauded as long as the contracts roll in. If you play fair and try to maintain integrity, you’ll be micromanaged, gaslit, and eventually pushed out. Favoritism is rampant. Certain agents are handed entire sections to themselves, while others—sometimes three at a time—are crammed into one and forced to compete. “Favorites” come and go as they please, and some don’t even show up—leaving assistants to sit in the model. Leadership fully supports it and looks the other way. Meanwhile, commissions have been cut multiple times in the past year, without any transparency or input from the sales team. You’re expected to do more with less: manage your model home, perform administrative tasks, and serve as a marketing team by posting four times a week on your personal social media accounts and tagging the company. And while the company boasts about record-breaking revenue, and the owner is now one of the wealthiest people in the world, they’ve implemented commission policies that are predatory and borderline abusive: • There’s no clear system to track your commission payouts. • If the company makes an error and underpays you, you have 15 days to catch it—otherwise, you forfeit the money. • But if they overpay you, even by mistake, they’ll go back months later and pull that commission back from your future paychecks. When I raised concerns about discrimination after being told my social media was “unprofessional,” no one could provide a single example. After escalating the issue, they admitted there was nothing unprofessional at all and called it a “procedural oversight.” In the same week, I was threatened with termination for leaving slightly early—while top agents skipped entire days with no consequences. This company will exploit your time, erode your confidence, and profit from your silence. It rewards those who are willing to be dishonest and punishes those who speak up. If you care about your mental health, your ethics, or simply being treated like a human being, do not work here.

Pros

Looks good on resume so you can leave

Cons

From the outside, this company looks polished and well-run, but working here feels very different. There’s a real lack of transparency from leadership, and decisions tend to be made behind closed doors by a boys club with little explanation or accountability all while using the branding of being woman led to hide this. A lot of lower-level managers are brought in straight out of school and they’re quickly shaped to fall in line rather than think independently or advocate for their teams. “Independent thinking” gets talked about a lot, but it often feels like it’s only welcomed if it aligns and protects leadership’s views. In many cases where reporting was questioned, the VP in charge through employees under the bus instead of taking ownership. In some departments, there’s heavy reliance on temp-to-hire roles. It creates the impression that employees are viewed as easily replaceable, with little long-term investment in their growth or stability. That kind of structure can make people feel disposable and hesitant to fully engage. One of the biggest issues is how concerns are handled. People who speak up about real problems can end up being labeled “unprofessional” without much explanation or documentation. There is an intentional culture created where employees keep their heads down instead of being honest. There’s a clear gap between what the company says it stands for and how things actually operate day to day. Over time, that disconnect makes it hard to trust leadership or feel confident in the direction of the organization.
