Working for New Western has exceeded my expectations

Real estate agent

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

New Western is an exciting place to work. The compensation plan is great, and what I especially appreciate is that the more I'm willing to put in to it the more I get out of it, and that goes for the learning experience as well. Serious earning and learning potential. The amount I've learned in the six weeks since starting here blows my mind, as does the compensation I've earned. New Western is professional yet fun. These guys are the real deal and passionate about promoting the success of those around them.

Cons

The main challenge I've encountered working here has been getting started. Stepping in to a new role that's commission based, it takes time to develop an income stream. If you learn slow you will earn slow, what's great is this encourages one to learn fast so they can start earning.

Pros

opportunity to make a lot of money if you work hard

Cons

company is run by greedy and deceitful people which trickles down through the culture. I worked there for several years and watched the leadership gradually lose all signs of a moral compass. Be prepared to be guided by fear and anxiety.

Pros

See a lot of deals, if you grind you can be successful. But that is the same of a lot of sales job.

Cons

Management has no other professional work experience. Agents who leave ARE NOT free to leave and will get sued if they continue to work in their profession. Extremely high turnover. There are a dozen competitors that have better values.
