Pros
Good reputation, fancy PR, marketing, offices, office snacks, office administration, and tech. All very good and likely first in class.
Kontras
Terrible management. Worst Finance Department in the business. Sells false short-term contract with good splits for commissions, but after the initial term expires you automatically revert to a commission table applicable to all agents that is the worst and most egregious in the industry. Also, the worst part is that they sell a complete false story about being more honest, upstanding, and honorable about how they approach brokerage, but in the end they are just as bad or worse than other big firms. They are steadily marching towards a sale or IPO that will greatly enrich the E-class, but none of the agents and are doing so on the backs of the agents.
