Pros
There are no redeeming qualities.
Cons
When in a meeting, the CEO tells everyone the company will run out of money and no one will get a paycheck come December if some random investor won't write a $10 million check soon, you know you're in trouble. I started looking for other work right away. They say you "can" take your lunch but it is strongly recommended that you don't take your lunch or take any of your breaks. It is true that there is no human resources component making sure regulations are followed. There were deals closed by people who didn't even have their licenses yet and listings created by people who didn't even know anything about the real estate industry. Aside from that, they would fire employees who did a great job saving hundreds of thousands of dollars for customers but who took a lunch, yet on the other hand keep an employee who lies that she was working hard when on the day she accidentally wrote $40 rather than $40,000 on a million dollar house according to sources, after having already lost the client $100,000 in equity, she was standing around texting and commanding others to do her work while talking trash about her lead agent. As long as you are a sycophant lying left and right, you are valued above people who try to make the company work and stay innovative. That is the fallacy of TRELORA and that is the environment created by the CEO who is its largest shareholder. People laugh and joke that there is a close to 100% turn over rate. People joke that the CEO makes promises to the GM and Directors that their equity and roles will explode once the company makes it big while continually failing to delivery on pay and promotional promises. They talk about expansion but the truth is that their Seattle office is bleeding money and the company has been unprofitable for some time. All their awards are self-promoting and self-participating, where they nominate themselves, writing in fake narratives about how great they are in order to win a useless title. This happens often with companies -- that is why you should never believe "Best Companies" -for-this awards, but the fact that they curated that and curate all their reviews on Zillow and everywhere else is sad. The in-fighting are not lies. A lot of the workers are good apples -- the rest are angered by their job, by the clients, by their life, and resentful of their position in life, feeling stuck, getting dumped, no mobility. The sad truth is that all the bad reviews below are telling the truth and the facade of "we're succeeding" is being chipped away with every passing day in which another funding round fails. The outright denial causes them to not tell the truth and eventually when the Denver market halts and hiccups, the company will shutter and fail. They know this and some will stay to the very end but the company is in a debt spiral and only sharks will loan to them money to stay open. The CEO leaving is a clear indication of what is to come. They don't have enough money to get a competent Chief. This after years of putting down other real estate agents and other real estate firms, talking trash and constantly saying your company is better when in truth -- you are the WALMART of real estate agencies. Ever buy something from Walmart and inside you find a moldy sandwich realizing the employees never checked any of the returned items and just put them back on the shelf? Well that is what it is like working at Trelora. The common saying from clients is "You get what you pay for." Well, you do the work that you're paid for as well -- when you get paid 25% less than any other real estate firm and have less benefits and perks, you gotta wonder if being a lazy sycophant is worth the sinking feeling and sucking wound that is your professional and social life. Trelora is truly a PR mess -- when you falsely put yourself up high, realize you went nowhere, then start falling from where you are realizing everything above is crashing down on you. I would not be surprised if real estate agents are getting in the last laughs while Trelora realizes it can't afford to blow at its own sails. Like some of the employees often said, it's karma.
