Pros

Great business model for Real Estate Agents. Good training

Cons

Really a training company that puts pressure on agents to pay for training events. Leadership is all ego driven. Especially Diana Kokoska. They build up all of this growth and yet their per agent productivity is some of the lowest in the industry. Great to have large companies but when only 10 % produce seems a bit off

Pros

Historically, had profit share that was around 20% of your salary or higher Work-life balance is good People are nice Pay is competitive HR seems to have your back any time you ask for help and they really seem to care They're finally getting around to learning remote is a good choice

Cons

-Profit share has been frozen indefinitely -You're forced to go to 2 real estate conventions a year, share a hotel room with a randomly chosen coworker for one, use only their mode of transportation if you want transportation covered, and get a daily stipend of only $25. You'll be giving product demos. -No support for learning at all- not even PTO for conventions where you've paid the registration and transportation or tech certs where you've paid for the training and course. If you want to get better, you have to do projects on your own time that won't benefit KWRI at all because KWRI doesn't implement many new projects and you're always overloaded with the existing projects. But if you don't do projects on your own time all night and weekend, you'll never go further in this industry because you'll be tied to KW's obsolete tech choices. You have no autonomy to implement anything else during your work hours and you'll end up learning bad coding practices if you rely only on KW. -Your coworkers in IT/eng will primarily be overseas contractors, limiting time you have access to them -Things used to change on a whim all the time. We're getting better at this, sometimes.

Cult, Brainwashing

Pros

Some of the training was valuable.

Cons

So many! Very cult like atmosphere. They heavily douse you in the Kool-Ade, and if you have the brains to question anything, or have an opinion...(disregarding the do not call list, meddling in personal lives of agents), then you aren't valuable. So much mandatory training that you don't have time to actually try to sell anything. Too much technology that you are expected to learn and use, even when it's flawed. Playing favorites, and not allowing everyone to join a team if they need to (to gain experience). I asked about it, and was told the teams weren't hiring, but then hired several new young agents who were in training classes with me. A LOT more red tape and paperwork than other agencies. So many fees that by the time we got to the closing table, my share was about 1/2 of what it is with my new company. They act very egotistical, and as if they are better than everyone else. They hate Zillow, but are trying to dominate the market just like Zillow is.
