      Pros

      initially their was a mentor like system in place.

      Cons

      Went thru one rebranding, then new outside management tossed all that work out and rebranded again. Putting lots of money into visual impacts rather than salaries Redefining positions and became a grunt So many systems in place with new requirements to use another new one - but other departments ALSO using different systems for their projects. Field reps have major confusion attempting to get work requests in Took 9 YEARS to implement a print on demand system due to ancient managers that were stuck in the 80's on deliverables. New materials more appealing but little input accepted from the field or internals.

      Pros

      The department employees are all very close like a family. There is a very friendly atmosphere.

      Cons

      The pay is low. I find it hard to support my family with the pay, even with overtime. The company seems to be focused on redecorating the buildings and taking away employee recognition and appreciation events.

      Pros

      Starbucks within walking distance, decent amount of PAL time.

      Cons

      Feels like sweatshop working conditions. Think twice before applying for Settlements team (has to be an external hire since NO ONE will apply internally) Huge amount of manual work, antiquated system technology, embarrassment to work with other brokers who are confused by the outdated practices GW follows. Mgmt is deplorable and clueless. Pay is low, average less than $1/hr raise per year, bonuses most likely going away soon.
