Pros

I moved from Louisiana without fully knowing what I was getting myself into. I found a work environment that matched my energy and passion for learning, growth, making $$ and having a good time. The company is one of the fastest growing in the REI industry so knowing you are working for one of the pioneers in investment real estate is rewarding in it's own right. I wake up every morning excited to get to work and be around my coworkers. Earning potential is up to each individual. You put in the work and follow the play and you will be successful.

Cons

Being a 1099 employee is nerveracking and volatile but at the same time you create your own opportunity. The security of a salary isn't there but neither are the confines - earning potential is capped - your income is up to you. You create your earning potential with hard work. No voluntary health care plans is also downside that should be implemented.

Pros

If you are passionate about investment real estate I would highly recommend looking into New Western Acquisitions. This company gives you every tool necessary in order for you to reach the levels you desire. What I personally love most is that when you come to work here you have no other option but to succeed and strive to become the best at what you do. The reason for this is because you are able to surround yourself with knowledgeable colleagues that motivate you and inspire you to exceed the expectations and reach levels that you didn't even know were possible. Albeit, this job is not for everyone! It requires a tremendous amount of time, dedication , and hustle in order to become a top producer. However, If you're willing to put in the grind the sky is truly the limit for what you can accomplish and become.

Cons

Very competitive with a consistent influx of sales guys coming into the office. No salary- you must perform (For those who hustle for it, this is not a problem)

Pros

- Great work environment where employees thrive on each others success. Competition drives each employee to learn from one another and continue to push themselves. Our offices have a young workforce with a casual atmosphere. - A long term, self-sustaining career as we solely promote from within. New Western has opened a total of 6 offices in the last 5 years and there is no stopping in sight. As we grow, the opportunity for advancement does as well. - All employees are 100% commission based. The more effort and work you put in, the more you will get paid. An average new sales associate will make $50-60k within the first year, with others surpassing $100K. You dictate your pay. - Freedom from the 9-5 grind. Most of our employees end up putting in more than 40 hours a week, but they largely make there own schedule and spend much of the time out of the office. - The learning curve is fast, but vigorous training is provided by management and you will learn a tremendous amount of real estate knowledge in a very short period of time. We want all of our employees to be able to knowledgeably present an investment opportunity to our clients and feel confident when doing so.

Cons

- Some people see the 100% commission as a downside. This job is not for everyone. If you are not willing to push yourself and take responsibility for your own career path, you will probably not succeed in a commission only based environment. - Yes you will drive a lot. If you have a truck, trade it in or move closer to the office.
