Consider Building Your Career Somewhere Else - Life is Too Short
Pros
Some really cool support staff, clean office, learn lots of skills, good for resume
Cons
This is an environment that lacks any form of cultivated trust amongst the team you work for, between other teams, and with management - makes for a very isolating experience. It is a gamble which team you end up on and depending on the team you are on will vary in compensation and the bonus structure agreed upon. I would recommend not taking a role here if there is no bonus structure in place ( preferably either per deal or mid-year set-up). The brokers have a reputation for being greedy, condescending, aggressive, demanding, expect you to read minds, expect you to perform on things you were not trained on, and expect you to drop everything for them for things that are not actually urgent. Promises will be made to retain you without any follow-through or course of action. Juniors get led into doing things for the brokers (with promises of opportunities) and end up getting screwed over in the end. Management can’t actually do much if you go to complain as the brokers are their source of income. If you are looking to start your career in real estate or commercial real estate, you can get further ahead somewhere else faster and likely without sacrificing your mental and emotional stability.
