Pros
The leadership team at The Agency is among the best in the real estate industry. Not only do they possess expert market knowledge to help drive business, but they are also mindful of the many pillars needed to efficiently support their staff - from communication and transparency to creating opportunities for growth and collaboration. The Marketing and Creative teams are passionate and informed. Nearly all projects and campaigns are well-considered between the necessary teams and communication among colleagues is streamlined. Marketing Ops has developed a system for project management that allows teams across departments and regions to interact with one another effectively, also serving as a one-stop repository for all applicable resources. The culture can be described as positive, collaborative, and resolute. The company-wide "townhalls" are both inspiring and informative. At the local level, events are top-notch, bringing together the best people with the best energy. The majority of internal staff work remotely, but the teams are quite cohesive due to a conscientious hiring process, ensuring strong culture fits before candidates come aboard. The team truly operates together and we push one another to achieve the best results. Growth isn't just an opportunity, but inevitable.
Cons
The real estate industry can fluctuate dramatically, resulting in busy months and slow weeks. However, support is always available in the busy months - whether it means increasing the team or adjusting workflows to manage deadlines. When times are slow, the group takes a moment to research and develop alternative approaches to marketing in order to scale the business and prepare for the uptick in the market. Remote work is not for everyone, and there is a strong sense of self-sufficiency amongst all team members in every department. If you're not adept at time management and require extensive oversight, this workplace is not the right fit. Success demands resiliency, and resiliency demands tenacity.
