NetWorth Realty

NEW

Employee say: "Networth Realty is a place where no matter your background, you can achieve amazing things. The opportunities that this company provides are like no other. The owners have built up in my opinion the best business model and brokerage in this country. You can really have anything you want if you allow yourself to learn from others that have found success. There are plenty of resources inside Networth Realty. I continue to learn and am able to improve my life every day because of this brokerage. 10/10 stars, and I recommend this company to anyone who wants to become successful in real estate."

W. P. Carey

+3 spotsPrev. #5

Employees say: "People who are hired here never want to leave—and with good reason! Quality of life and work-life balance is great. I feel lucky to say that I genuinely learn new things every day. The office is absolutely beautiful. WPC has fantastic company culture with thoughtful hiring practices—new hires and interns fit in very well right away. Programming (mental health day activities, extra days off) and benefits (flexible spending accounts, amazing insurance) all make for very happy employees. I am excited and look forward to coming into the office."

The Garrett Companies

-1 spotPrev. #2

Employees say: "They treat us amazingly. We are valued tremendously here. They go out of the way to make sure we're taken care of and enjoy our environment. We get treated to an amazing skiing trip every year, get to travel for a whole company annual meeting, frequently get monthly team building breakfasts, occasional happy hours, and much more. The leadership views the human capital as its greatest resource, and they go above and beyond to show it."

Rhodes Enterprises

NEW

Employees say: "One of the unique activities that make this a great place to work is the 'Town Hall meetings.' Rhodes provides us with a glimpse into its history, informs us of current projects, and shares the direction for the company's future quarterly. Never gets old. The company acknowledges the misses, celebrates the wins, and recognizes those who excelled. The transparency is refreshing. Rhodes continues to make this a fun place to work by awarding prizes, holding competitions for swag merchandise, and providing company gatherings, lunches, team building, and volunteering opportunities. Appreciate how they try hard to keep employees motivated."

Venterra Realty

-4 spotsPrev. #1

Employees say: "The perks like a paid birthday, the vacation suite, Wow program, and other thoughtful incentives are fantastic and really appreciated by everyone. What truly stands out to me, though, is how we welcome people from all walks of life, cultures, personalities, and styles. It's incredible to see how we come together like a family, supporting and accepting each other... It's clear that everyone can feel comfortable being themselves here. These unique values not only make our company a great place to work but also show how much we care about inclusivity and making sure everyone feels valued."

Northwood Investors

Prev. #6

Employees say: "Executives are extremely approachable and personable. An effort is made to know all employees' names and roles and show appreciation whenever efforts are made to accomplish team goals. Formalities are not part of the culture, and all employees are on a first-name basis, regardless of role."

Flournoy Development Group

+3 spotsPrev. #10

Employees say: "This company always takes opportunities to make their employees feel appreciated and welcomed. For example, we have Leasing Appreciation Week and Maintenance Appreciation Week, where the company gives back through personalized gifts and team bonding experiences. Our opinions and ideas are always heard with open ears, and [the company] makes sure we stay informed and involved."

Alliant National Title

Prev. #8

Employees say: "There is an overwhelming culture of positivity. Everyone supports everyone else and celebrates their victories. When someone gets a promotion or joins the company, an email goes out to announce it, and then it's an all-day affair with everyone replying to offer their congratulations or welcome. It's uplifting to see so much positive community support regularly."

MountainSeed

+5 spotsPrev. #14

Employees say: "Our ownership/leadership gives us weekly updates on the progress we are making as a company during a company-wide call. Every manager/leader/executive at my company wants to see us succeed, and they would go out of their way to make sure we have the opportunity to thrive. For example, when I was starting here, I expressed my interest in finance to leadership, and I was included in the interviews when the finance team added a new member. (I got the job, and now I've gotten to do what I love every day for four years!)"

Hilltop Residential

+9 spotsPrev. #19

Employees say: "This company is a true embodiment of our values and mission. It is rare you find an organization that displays through actions an alignment with our values.

I'm thankful to be a part of this team that has always felt like family."
