Vantaggi
No company is perfect, but during 2020 I feel the things that really matter in a company really came to light: A genuine commitment to it's employees. The leadership met monthly with staff to update everyone in a crazy pandemic year. Real Estate industry was hit hard like almost everything else. Leadership was clear and transparent. They mapped out how we were going to make it, their commitment to 100% staff retention, what it would take to change that commitment and all the other reserve measures if they had planned if things got worse. I've worked at this company for years and they really care about employees and really do keep their commitment to transparent, honest communication.
Svantaggi
The reason RE/MAX does so well is they run lean on staff. They still function like a small, agile company. That means change is the culture. It is an agile company where the likelihood to get a job where you are the only one responsible for a given job is high. That means advancement is typically available. But that also means you might pull long hours or get overly busy for long seasons. I take it as opportunity, but sometimes the company will be to busy to notice it is burning out a department. In my experience management tries its best to help, but it is a rapidly changing environment with constantly changing priorities. If you know that going in, it won't frustrate you.
