Vantaggi
If you are a newly licensed realtor, or if you want to be one, this is a good start -- the education is good. Once you pass the exam and come on board, read the small print in the contract. The office is in a great location. And the company has a national reputation.
Svantaggi
As ADMIN, If you enjoy admin work and intend to stay in the admin genre -- Coldwell Banker Select Real Estate, Carson City is not a place to hang your hat, especially if you are a highly motivated, hard-worker, with superior office/marketing skills. There is no follow through on promises made by staff, and if you push for education or training that was promised in negotiations, you will be considered a nuisance and ignored. Morale takes a hit because the new staff has many bosses every day in both local office and headquarters to answer to, and the rules/expectations for the new staff change on whim or mood of other staff. Every separate office has different procedures in play. There is no unifying written policy on procedures for staff, which is why there is procedural dysfunction that has negative consequences for realtors. When this is brought up to headquarters, they say they agree that it is wrong, but then they allow it so as not to cause friction. Finally, the new staff person is not part of a team. Further, the company retains staff who come in late, and who show a poor work ethic. Side note: New marketing ideas coming from new staff were met with negativity or ignored.
