Its going to be HUGE ( Redfin's agents pay-cut in Donald Trump's voice)

Associate agent

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule (this is only to fill Glassdoor's requirement)

Cons

Everything Else - Yet another pay-cut to every single Associate Agent (after taxes, gas, and fees you're pretty much minimum wage) - No reimbursement for gas - At least minimum wage employees are employees so they get some legal protection - Must fight tooth and nail for payment because upper manager decides not approve of your pay when a client fails to show (remember you're already getting paid minimum) - Watching their crummy cult-like video where they tell you they "care about everyone" (Jim Jones) - They don't care about their employees and their stocks shows (as of this review) - Very cultish (If you like bad news with a smile then, by all means, join Redfin!) - Turn-overs (I'm surprised I was even here this long)

Great Place to Learn and Have a Career

Pros

Redfin provides a ton of training and support to their agents along with incredible marketing--and cover the costs. If you love real estate, but not marketing yourself--but helping people buy and sell homes, this is a great place to be. Agents truly support each other and each agent has a team of coordinators and other agents to help out. Salary and benefits (healthcare, paid vacation, 401k, etc) are great and unusual in this business.

Cons

For a full-time agent, it's definitely full time. Don't expect to work part time here unless you are an Associate Agent (which is the ultimate part time job!). You can get overloaded in the busier seasons, but you also have the option to slow your pipeline down if needed and we do get paid vacations--you just really have to plan ahead to take one.

Pay Continues to Decrease for Associate Agents

Associate agent
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule; great experience for new agents

Cons

Pay for Associate Agents continues to decrease every year. A one home daytime tour used to be $50 and now they are $35. I lost lots of money last year because of the pay decrease. Because of the new daytime pay structure, I will not be able to take on any tours because I will, most likely, lose money instead of making money.
