Pros

The pay isn't as high as it should be for tech.

Cons

They put you on a quarterly quota and raise it every quarter. Then they lower the quota based on the team's average. So every quarter, everyone is in a panic and maybe two people exceed their goal.

Great Team, Good Benefits, Terrible comp structure

Sales executive, premier agent

Business Outlook

Pros

My team is a solid group of people, very kind and helpful. Kind of gatekeeping when it comes to helping me as a recent hire but I get it because Sales can be competitive. Benefits are decent; 401K match could be better but home office stipend and gym/student loan reimbursements are great additions. Fully remote is awesome, but offices are really nice and all expenses paid work trips are well funded.

Cons

Housing market is crap right now so it can be very tough to make sales to Realtors and Teams who can't spend on advertising. Stack on the NAR lawsuit and how Zillow has brokerage licenses all over the country and many people would not touch the product with a 20 foot pole. Because I'm sure the Execs are making less than the fortune they expected the comp structure does not benefit us at all. If you don't make 50% or more of your quota (which you realistically have to dial over 200 times a day for a year to get to the point where you can hit quota fully ramped) you don't make ANY money. Complete and utter BS. In addition, if you have accounts in your name but don't log a 10 minute call or they self serve after speaking to you they take that sale from you and don't count it. Again, expect to only find success working 10 hour days calling up to 250 times a day until you can really build a solid pipeline of inidividuals to follow up with. otherwise the company will withhold thousands of dollars that you rightfully earned.
