Interview at Prudential Commercial Real Estate?

This is for an internship position. Do you guys recommend Prudential? They told me after I complete the intership program they'll pay me to get my license and for all the classes - is this typical of real estate firms? Any other advice or input would be appreciated! Thanks

1. Many brokers that are on recruiting campaigns often offer to pay for you to go through their real estate school or an affiliate's school. Most want you to pay for it up front & then they will reimburse you at some point, which could be when you pass the license exam, you hang your license at their office or you get your first commission check. Many franchised offices such as Prudential, Century 21, Re/Max have in house training programs that are free or sometimes the broker will pay the cost of you to take "Quick Start" or other sales classes that their corporate office is offering after you come on board. Some offices will team you up with a "mentor", a seasoned agent that assists you & accompanies you on all your appointments. Often with mentoring programs, a portion of the commission on your first few transactions is paid to the mentor. Franchise offices are a good place for a new agent. You will have access to a lot to training & managment assistance. These franchise offices also often have some very good tools for you to take advantage of like a personal webite (i.e., PrudentialProperties.com/YourName), nice professional marketing materials.
