Pros

Seem to genuinely care about employees. Have really tried hard lately to become more modern. Not as market driven as brokerage firms.

Cons

Locations (Addison TX/Vermont). Traffic is atrocious in Dallas and Vermont is hard to get to. 401k match is not that good (.50 of up to 6%). You deal with agents that can be hard to talk to as they are on commission.

Pros

- Culture - there's a push for people to engage, focus on relationships, understand the business, not just transnational efficiency - Growth - recent growth is amazing. It's a great run - how the company will handle a shift from this growth trajectory will be the true view into its philosophy and demeanor - Community Engagement - volunteer hours and the philanthropic commitments are terrific - There is a focus on people - people's personal lives are taken into account

Cons

- Doesn't buy love - loses talent due to salary negotiations or unwillingness to negotiate at times - but you know where the org stands - Not everyone is bought into the culture and those who aren't aren't always held accountable to follow the cultural engagement. This creates safe and unsafe spaces for employees - all spaces should be safe if the organization is truly bought into vulnerability and anti-shaming - Inconsistency of managers - There can be a wide discrepancy in styles and approach so who you report to can be as important as the quality of work you do. If we're going to pay for performance, the org needs to do a better job ensuring fairness in managerial talent, mentoring, and approach.
