Pros

Young professionals with a positive attitude. The office is in pacific beach. They talk about always learning, which I agree with, I just never understood how that was applied in the work culture.

Cons

I now know it's all fake propaganda and they are scamming anyone and everyone one. Everyone I talked to had the same experience of bate and switch. I had really high expectations because of the add and interview process only to be completely let down.

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review. It is difficult to respond considering we don’t have a coach in content management who has been with us for more than 5 years. You mention our job ad and our hiring process so we are sorry to hear you did not receive all the required information when you applied. Our company has been in business for 12+ years and has helped thousands of real estate investors start successful businesses. Thus, your comments about our educational services and products are not accurate. Our company definitely cares about our customers and our employees and we continuously try and better the experience for both.

Pros

Quarterly awards dinner. Financial and Real Estate Education.

Cons

Managers don't do anything but delegate. Over work staff to death while "leaders" go home early. No parking. Not enough bathrooms, no break rooms, no food or vending, no food near by, crappy dumpy neighborhood, no communication between departments, every departments are held to different standards. Company says people over profits but will sell you a glass of water while you're drowning. A Real Estate company that has a dump for an office. Management plays favorites and politics and gossips like a bunch of school girls. They pay too many managers who work 5 or 6 hours a day. Too many Middle Management are puppets. Really could use a consulting company to help decrease costs, work flow and company structure.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are committed to the growth and happiness of our team members and wish were able to have provided you with a better experience over the time you were here. Our goal in having our managers delegate is to challenge and grow our team so they can prepare to be managers themselves. It's disappointing to hear that we didn't communicate that as well as we could have. As our company has continued to scale extremely quickly, there have been challenges around areas such as parking and open office space in our new office building that we just remodeled. That same growth can also create challenges around internal communication. We will treat all of your feedback as an opportunity for us to learn, grow, and better ourselves in all of these areas. We strive to build an environment where team members can grow personally and professionally; it's disappointing to hear that we missed that opportunity with you. We appreciate your feedback and encourage your reach out to Human Resources to discuss your experience further.

Pros

You might learn about real estate

Cons

Fortune Builders is 100% a boys club. Just look at all upper management. And the majority of department heads. All the books they "ask" employees to read to “better” themselves, not one has shown an ounce of diversity. There’s no equality with how employees are treated. Like when employees feel harassed. And are asked why they started it, and are silenced. But it’s ok for management to make jokes about it. And joke with other male employees about how they treat the females in the office. On top of the man show, people here aren't happy, they feel pin holed in potions and are met with empty promises of the future. Don't be tricked. They dont practice what they preach.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us as we are always looking to improve. Many people within our management team are women and we take any harassment complaints very seriously and they are investigated by our HR team. It is our goal to make sure every team member feels safe and heard regardless of gender. We are not aware of anyone who has made jokes about issues this serious so we will look into this right away. We also encourage you to please reach out to us and let us know if there is a specific issue we should look into.
