Pros

Agents get leads, salaries and benefits. Great starting for new agents (if you can train yourself)

Cons

Middle management is atrocious Agents earn the only revenue (besides investor money) Crazy money is spent to support the gargantuan workforce and stupid "frills" like ping pong tables Absolutely no legal or broker oversight, local or otherwise Questionable transaction practices "Training" programs are a joke Vile, incestuous, nepotistic career promotion strategy (based on popularity rather than merit) Work-life balance is an absolute joke (60+ weeks are the norm)
