Vantaggi
You can take as much time off as you want due to your 1099 status. You're basically in business for yourself. So if the kids have a doctor's appointment or you have to meet your child at the bus stop every day after school, you can do that. Also, the commission rate there is larger than at other brokerage firms. At KW Commercial, a sales associate makes 64% of the commission earned. They tell you it's 70% when you first get hired but after they take out their administration fee it's really not.
Svantaggi
Because of you're 1099 status, you get nothing for free there; i.e. there is a montly charge for your office, office supplies, CoStar, insurance. So if you have nothing in the pipeline, you're making no money and on top of that you're paying the company a pretty big chunk of cash each month to work there.
