Pros
- Freedom to structure your day as you see fit - Management oversight to help you succeed but not look over your shoulder all day. - Commission based compensation - Those who are successful can easily be making six figure incomes after two years - Potential for relocation - I was hired in San Antonio, TX and moved to open up our Tampa, FL office - Organized training programs - these didn't exist when I was hired but are now available to spell out every aspect of the job to new hires - upward mobility - because of the pace the company is growing if you are very successful at your current position new positions can actually be created if it's your time for advancement - Fun competitions - Monthly to bimonthly sales or health based competitions - Company trips visiting other offices around the country - No two days are ever the same. The last thing anyone could ever say about this job is that it's boring.
Cons
Building a business takes time. As an independent contractor you don't walk in on the first day with sources to acquire real estate from and clients to sell to. You have to build relationships in the real estate community in the area. If that's not your strong suit then you're up for a struggle here. If you are satisfied with a 9-5 job in a corporate environment this isn't for you. If you're shy or dislike interacting with people you will almost certainly be unsuccessful at this company. As a pro you dictate your own work schedule but as potentially a con you may wind up working a lot longer work weeks than a corporate job. I can wind up going into the office seven days a week because I want to make more money than I did the last week, and because I absolutely love what I do.
