New broker…opinions on which agency

[Josh Bryan]

Hello all. I am in the process of getting my real estate broker license in Illinois. I wanted to hear the opinions from other brokers on which brokerage would be better for a newbie and why. Well known name, but lower commission splits or local, lesser known name with better commission splits? I plan on starting out part time within my circle of influence until I can save up enough to quit my full time job. All opinions or insights would be appreciated.
