Pros

• Culture is great! Everyone is around the same age so you’ll make some really good friends. • Offers Cert IV in Mortgage Brokering (does not give you time within work hours to complete) • Lots of pubs around

Cons

• Surry Hills is not a nice area, food is expensive and a trek to get to. Also smells and has lots of crackheads. • Base is not nearly competitive enough for the amount of work you need to put in to hit target. • Targets are unrealistic - no adjustments for quieter periods/ shorter working months. • Management is an absolute joke. Lack of empathy for employees. No support given. Aggressive micromanagement. Does not take on feedback/criticism. Will force you to stay back or come into office on designated wfh days. • Role does not accommodate work life balance. • Extremely high turn over of staff across all departments. Company churns through employees despite feedback given. Will force you to sell clients deals that will harm their business just to generate money for the company. • Minimal benefits (will give you company “merch” for hitting time milestones + day off on your birthday - after hitting 4 years within the company) • Lead generation and distribution is laughable - conversion rates are purely luck. • No room for growth unless moving into management (opportunity will only come if a current manager leaves) • Extremely long working hours (8:30-5:30) - not paid for lunch or compulsory breaks in between. Are also expected to come in early and stay back + work on weekends.

Pros

Excellent reputation in the industry, Known as the top brokerage in the commercial space. Great leadership, very knowledgeable and experienced. Always investing time to provide training for us to become a better broker. Team manager is always supportive and knows how we all operate differently. Always coming up with new ways to help us becoming more successful in our role. Top-notch technology for a brokerage, thanks to the tech team doing all the heavy lifting. Awesome culture and vibes, always internal and external social events. Countless of incentives for hitting your individual and team KPIs. Always recognition for your hard work and rewarded for your consistency. If you are a grafter and believes hard work pays off, this is the place to be. If not, then I guess this is not for you.

Cons

Standard trading hours but could be long nights for those that don't check the time and wants to win. Could feel intense or stressful for those that are not self-efficient and prepared. Not the place to be if you prefer to live for the weekends and pay cheque after pay cheque. Plenty of daily interactions with clients and lenders, Not the place to be if you don't enjoy having a rapport and building relationships. Pay is only limited if you believe your potential is limited.

Pros

- Lots and lots of training, starting with 2 weeks intense onboarding help when you don't have background in finance. On going training every fortnight to attend. - Everyone in your team helps you on a daily basis, so that everyone is achieving targets. - Targets are achievable, like an sales role you need to put in the work and hours but once you make it, it's very worth it - Very social, everyone is really nice and friendly always event on.

Cons

- Work hours are 8.30am to 5.30pm, an hour longer than I'm used to but very worth it once you start making comms
