Franchise - each office is run independently with a set of base guidelines and business rules that must be met to carry the KW branding. This allows for each office to be run differently and may not provide the same services as others that carry the KW branding.
Training is unorganized and not geared towards someone who has never done the job before.
COSTLY Fee- Unlike competition there is a fee for everything literally everything and its seen as a small fee $100 here $100 there. If you want to work in the office and in an actual work-space there is a fee for it.
Advance Training- is highly pushed and again can range into the $1000's
You get recruited and provided entry level training and then thrown to the wind and just told to lead generate, even if you have not a clue how to do that.
Commission splits are high you must donate $20,000 to the company before you get your full commission, some competitors are much lower.
Providing constructive feedback to upper management is seen as a negative and not well received.
DISC Personality Testing - the test is used for every position you attempt to apply for, even if you are already an agent with them and want to join a team, its a test that can be flawed and manipulated by the test taker yet is used in 99% of all decisions.
Follow Up & Communication - Communication varies and follow up from other agents is either non-existent or not timely.
Transferring and Office Affiliation - Once you sign an agreement with one office it is highly frowned upon you switching to another KW office, I found the KW office 5 mins from me to be more convenient yet when I asked what the process would be to move there, my request basically landed on deaf ears.
