Pros

Lots of flexibility, if you have good bosses you learn pretty quick, the likemindedness of everyone chasing the same goal. Very fun job if you can deal with all the downsides

Cons

You get a salary but it’s a draw for 50k for the first year so that eventually become an indentured servitude. The institutional deal cycle is too long if you’re looking for stability now. You have no benefits or any protections because you’re a 1099 employee. If your boss is having a bad day they can literally fire you for no reason and then give you a week to pay back the 40-50 you still owe. Also it’s a commission based business so the senior brokers who hire you will lie and promise you things so you can littlerally work for them on a loan for 1-3 years until money materializes

Pros

-the people -mostly easy-going -not a hard job -good actually entry level job -people are almost always willing to teach you something you are not sure about

Cons

-Schedule rigidity -almost no say in where or when you work (even though the company preaches this as one of its values) -the pay (didn't get a raise for the first 2 years I worked there and they were small rasises. Then told I was not being promoted after waiting 3 years for the promotion I was promised) -the favoraitism by management -the work is either a 100% or nothing to do -in office days tend to be highly stressful
