Cons
Compensation: If you are a good broker with even the slightest bit of intellect and experience you will be unhappy. It's an insult. Culture: cultish tech start up vibe abounds complete with nonsensical acronyms galore, bean bag chairs, ping pong tables. It's a con for a broker because we pay for all the toys, food, perks as Redfin's sole revenue source - but we never use them. You will be scrutinized, weighed, measured in every possible way. You are not a person. You are data - metrics. It's super stressful. Even the transaction - which can be emotional and unpredictable will affect your compensation via the dreaded 'survey'. I had great surveys. But still found it stressful, unfair and demeaning. They don't have your back. Why work for them? Work life balance? They tell you in training - in fact they drum it in, that it's important. But they create an atmosphere of competition and quite contradictory to their claims. You will see (quickly) they really don't care if you have a life. Management is full of clickish, passive aggressive, immature people and the only conclusion I can come to as to how they have their jobs is that it is such a young company and low standards. I have a diverse work history and have taken something good from each - but not this. It was the worst professional experience of my life.
