Realtor.com reviews

I guarantee the review of June ! 2014 with the title “Great Company with great earnings potential for hard workers with good skills.” was written by or at the request of someone in management. I do not know ONE person that that was fired (quite a few and for really petty reasons) or left voluntarily that worked in sales in the Scottsdale office that would EVER have that attitude or those nice things to say about the organization. It is a terrible and repressive environment that manages by fear. "Do this or we'll take this away" "Don't do that or we won't give you leads" "Miss your call metrics and we'll put you in 2 hours of training the next day, all but assuring that you won't make you goals again!" They pile on so many metrics that it is easy for them to target those they want to get rid of while keeping their favorites. Management will say they want consultative sales and the hit you with a 100 call daily metric. Kinda hard to focus on consulting when you have that bear hanging over your head. And if you miss it even by ONE call no matter how much talk time you had, it is a write-up and four of those in a month and you're fired, unless of course you're a favored son. Favoritism is disgustingly high and if you go out for drinks with the boss or hang with them on the weekend, you get favors, accounts. sales and leads handed to you etc. Everyone else gets the leftover slop. Very little of the product works for realtors and the company knows this. The only exception is the connections lead program but they make sure their favorites get the advantage there as well by only giving them leads in areas where there is ample inventory. All others get leads from areas that haven't had inventory for months, sometimes years! Kind of hard as a sales person to convince someone to buy your product only to then find out there's nothing to actually sell them. Good sales people were let go not because they couldn't sell but because they got leads dumped on them that had no inventory! Unless they make major changes that totally changes the way management deals with sales people and institute steps to eliminate or at least greatly diminish the rampant favoritism, I would stay far far far away from here unless you're really good at sucking up or kissing you know what

The upper management makes blunders and penalizes the employees lower int he hierarchy for their mess ups. The leaders do not think for the overall good of the company, but almost always try to project their importance in the company. Pro-actively coming up with scientific solutions for solving business issues is absolutely not encouraged. If you're not in good terms with the upper management you might lose your job.
