This place is an absolute mess. I worked in the GIS Dept and they clearly had no idea what they were doing. They want everything done THEIR way and won't even listen to anyone else's methods or recommendations. They are completely inflexible about the time allotted to complete tasks. The GIS software isn't even installed on your computer. You run it in a virtual window with no control over your Normal.mxt, so toolbars are never where you put them the next time. This also makes the programs run SSLLOOWWEERR than death. Completely inefficient. The "Lead" (that can't decide which office he's going to work out of) nags you via PM every 20 minutes asking if you're done with a task akin to a toddler in the backseat seat pleading "Are we there yet?". If you ignore his PM's (to save the little bit of your mental health you have left), he calls you. If you don't answer his call, he calls the person next to you and has them hassle you. Their pay is on par with the industry, but be ready to work overtime with NO compensation (pay or time). It's expected or you WILL be passed over for promotion/merit increase. I've been successful in the industry for 17 years and this job made me feel like I was actually bad at what I do. This place is a thief of joy. I've never had an employer make me so mentally depressed or make me SO look forward to quitting before. Avoid at all costs.

What is the best part of working at the company?
 Valued their employees in what they needed daily. provided what was needed daily work; virtual credits, laptop and extra screen.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Worked there when the company was growing and adjusting their structure quickly and with uncertainty. Did not take much time to get to know their employees qualifications. Were more focused on their quick financial growth then long term success. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Constant change on processing they may have settled now on a good stable structure to have secure and timely service to their agents. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Confirming transactions were truly closed, completed, checks from escrow were received and submitting approvals to accounting for payments to real estate agents. Serviced and kept close relationships with agents. Process over 400 transactions per month.

A typical event day was waking up at 5:00am to go set up the event at the place noted. Then, after setting up, I always told my workers to go to the restroom, have water, and be prepared to work at a fast flow. I learned new things on any topics that same day by being a manager or supervisor. Management was prefect in my eyes, great way to train us the workers and prepare me to be a manager myself. Co-workers were always on time, ready to work, never give up, and worked hard. The hardest part of the job was closing the booth down, because we would try to close it down, and customers came to buy items that were sold out, and I hated saying we're out of stock. The most enjoyable part of the job was always selling items, and greeting customers and making them feel welcomed, and happy.

A typical day would consist of receiving and compiling personnel status reports to track each of our CWIs and Welder wherever in the world they may be and sending this to the Corp. Program Managers.
Communicating with the Overseas CWIs to seeif any situations need to be address concerning the armor repair and fabrication of armored vehicles. Sometimes performing code interpretation in conjunction with current company welding prcedures. If necessary communicating with design Engineers for the approvals deviating from the procedures and cataloging all such information.
I scheduled and the training and Welder Testing of new hire personnel. As well as, coordinated and scheduled Performance Qualification and Testing of any new proposed welding procedures to be implimented.

Work experience depends on what office location and department you work for. Leadership of the Land Development Group likes to yell at people and it can make the work environment very uncomfortable. Project work is not very diverse.

Advice to management is when hiring management and senior employees try to make sure they are knowledgeable, appropriate for the position and are polite & professional to their staff.

This company is the one everybody wants to work. It has an excellent staff of professionals with good compensations and a great working ambient. In my position travel was a requirement so I travel a lot. It is bad sometimes but you know a lot of people and do a lot of different things all the time. The paperwork is bad because you have to do a lot of it but is part of the job. I recommend exp as a great company to work on. I left the company because of personal reasons but if I have the opportunity I will return to exp.

This company made many promises and kept none of them. I left a stable job based on the promises made and nothing that I was told happened. They required you to work hour about the 40 and not get paid so that they could meet the clients schedule and their unrealistic cost estimate. Management was cut throat and fostered a unhealthy work environment. There was never enough hours to cover the job and support was lacking from project management

EXP is a new kind of real estate brokerage that i could go on for days about. Theres no offices everything is done online. My typical day is making calls and taking people to see homes. Ive met a lot of inspiring people who want to take their career to the next level. The most challenging part is being consistent everyday and showing up even when youve had your spirits crushed. My favorite part is that even though we work long hours it feels like complete freedom at the same time.

There are a lot of different projects to expand your knowledge, and it was an interesting job. The program used (Revit) was extremely slow when it came to large projects which caused a lot of frustration when trying to meet deadlines. 40 hours a week was a minimum at most times. With the program speed, amount of projects they would take on, and rushed due dates, the work life balance wasnt always great. Coworkers were helpful and respectful. 

Avoid this place. Management has no clear sense of direction. Department leads do not communicate concerning tasks, deadlines. Very little direction given on design projects, but expect design output to be construction-worthy. No overtime pay, recruited as hourly, but hired as salary (dirty tactic).  Forced PTO, insurance is terrible, need I go on?
