Pros
The people here are great! There are many perks included that I did not know about when I was hired. Everyone gets along great with each other. There are some of the brokers here who make an unbelievable amount of money, yet you wouldn't know it by their attitude. They are friendly with everyone. Everyone cares about each other and strive to treat everyone as equals, right down to the receptionist. Our office manager is wonderful to work for. She is generous towards all of the staff. There have been many times she has bought lunch for us "just because." We can go to her with any problem and she takes the time to listen and help solve it, without being "bossy."
Kontras
Marketing assistants have brokers assigned to a specific specialty. There is retail, industrial, office, multi-family and investment. Marketing assistants receive a bonus based on the gross commission of the transaction for our specific brokers. Our bonus is 1.2% of the gross commission. When you look at the gross commission being paid, and the amount of work you might have done on a specific transaction, that 1.2% isn't a lot. It would be great if the bonus could be on a sliding scale - i.e.: If the gross commission was $1 - $15,000 bonus is 1.2%, $15,001 - $30,000 bonus is 1.6%, and so on.
