Pros

Some of the best brokers in the industry, and you can work up to being one. Not micromanaged, tools for success.

Cons

When the pandemic hit, they reduced a lot of low paid workers a percentage of their salary while higher ups didn't take much. What really got me is the third time the regional manger called us to tell us we were going another stint on pay reduction, he did not take it seriously and was cracking jokes while everyone looked upset, then just hung up. I saw some people on that call with terrible faces after that. That was my reason for leaving.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
