I had accepted a video job with Ellis that I had time to complete before the end of this month. It was a random apartment, no bonus. While in between jobs with the possibility of completing the random apartment toward the end of the day, I receive an email that says that the shop has changed to targeted, which was well after I accepted it.
Keep in mind that this apartment community is quite large, and has probably 4-5 agents. Now, its end of month, and its targeted. Ellis, if I had wanted to shop a targeted location, I WOULD HAVE PICKED A TARGETED LOCATION!!! I wrote the scheduler indicating that this wasn't right due to already accepting the shop as a non-targeted, and now its changed to targeted out of the blue. The scheduler responds back "Well, the client wants that." Nothing more, nothing less.
Ultimately, I cancel out of principle due to Ellis not honoring our agreement after self-assigning the shop as random. I've worked for them for a number of years, and this is the first time that I've experienced this. Is this typical of them from your experience?
