Pros

camaraderie, hackathons, catered lunches, great speakers at brownbugs, transparency by leadership team, challenging work, balanced hours

half the engineering team is in SF, so some collaboration by phone is needed, but manageable

Pros

Absolute flexibility in your schedule. Based off of Google Calender. Just close off the day and its yours. You really just unlock doors and deflect all other questions to the agent. Agents work off of salary. Website is AWESOMNE! Team atmosphere.

Cons

33% of your tours cancel. Customers are unqualified and uneducated. Each client rates your performance and the these NPS scores are important. A few bad ones and you are fired. As a Field Agent you receive no respect, no benefits, and no communication from above. You are used at the agents request to run errands. As a Field Agent you want to sell your Agents in hopes that the client buys with RedFin, but the agents are overworked, underpaid, and often can't be bothered. In additon, they don't meet the clients or see the properties. As a Field Agent, there is no chance of promotion to Agent, as 12 closed deals are required, which you can't do as a Field Agent.
