Pros
Some good people, Good Marketing, if they get back to the culture they once had it may become a good environment again.
Cons
For in house staff they want "Experts" in their respective fields but pay a pittance, no wonder the turnover for in house staff is constant. For sales staff they want "A players" who will work 80 hours a week if needed but then take the majority of your commission because the in house services provided. If you are a Realtor, you can make more somewhere else, if you are admin/staging/photo you can have half the stress by working somewhere else. Very cult like atmosphere that makes you feel like you are a part of something important until you make a mistake and they rake you over the coals for it. Decisions are made in the echo chamber of the upper leadership with Mark Faris sending recommendations from his palace in Florida (never present for day-to-day but still wants to be in full control of operations) without consultation of the actual people conducting the work, so policies and how to complete work is constantly changing with no rhyme or reason given as to why decisions were made, just do your job and make us money. Step out of line and you will find out how fast they actually value you. Leave of your own accord because you find another pursuit and see how fast they slam the door behind you on the way out. This company is good at selling itself, much to the detriment of those who are not management or part of the Faris inner circle (and don't be fooled there is 100% an inner circle of sales staff who get rights and privileges not offered to all).
