Pros

None. If you can get a job anywhere else do yourself a favor and avoid the abuse.

Cons

This review should be prefaced with the fact that City Realty Group is a residential real estate brokerage who's owners operate a real estate investment and property management company. This review pertains mainly to the management and investment side of the business. Poor compensation - owners of the company will tell you that they can't afford to give you a raise after considerable amount of time with the company, yet they buy exotic cars frequently and accumulate parking tickets that amount to tens of thousands of dollars per year. Poor management practices - the owners of the company manage people by negative reinforcement, making employees feel bad about performance so that employees will work longer and harder to win approval yet anyone who spends at least 6 months with the company should know that they bring value considering the fact that the owners/managers will not hesitate to fire a new hire in their first few weeks or even days (a common occurrence) Poor business ethics - the owners of the company treat employees just as bad as their tenants. The owners of the company certainly do not subscribe to the idea of "doing good while doing well". They see all business contacts as people they can take advantage of to advance their own personal wealth. The business is so clearly a vehicle for the owners to build personal wealth and nothing more. Unprofessional environment - employees frequently experience profanity-filled yelling matches between the owners of the company.

Pros

Communication, accesibility to resources, and growth environment. These lay root for upward mobility. Philanthropic work is great as someone who transitioned from social services to work in this field. Gym membership helps in winter when you can't get outside for vitamin D/get that endorphine release. Number of employees in office is under 20 so it feels like a team--does not have corperate feel in the traditional stress-inducing environment although workload can be heavy and fast paced--executive level execution is expected (not to say that is unreasonable as the necessary resources are available). Unique environment is really rare and allows you to grow into a role or assume the one you've worked hard to acheive. Hectic days are balanced with that center-ing office environment. CEOs wife is always bringing in snacks to keep us going and Front Desk Associate keeps us stocked with coffee. Cant't complain!

Cons

None. Any concerns have been minor and rectified, as a team. Sometimes work is fast and there is a lot going on--it could induce stress or you could look at it like: it makes you grow stronger and improve your skills daily (my take on it).
