Pros

The best aspect of working here is the company's emphasis on work-life balance and the overall work environment. Colleagues are mutually supportive, sociable, and easy going. It makes for a pleasant 8-5 experience and I would even say it feels like a family. There are several annual events and department outings throughout the year and great benefits-- lots of PTO!

Cons

The trajectory for career growth is not promising for an entry level employee. While the company offers regular trainings and holds skills-building or team-building workshops, there is little room for promotions as middle and upper management are all pretty set. It seemed like those holding entry level positions could be promoted to 'senior' level versions of their roles, however there was very little difference between the salaries of those junior vs senior employees.

Pros

Frequent team outings and social events that help build relationships across the team. Generally a friendly, social environment!

Cons

The property management team is highly competitive when it comes to promotions, and I’ve seen BDRs remain in the same seat for years or eventually leave, as internal advancement opportunities can be limited. However, for top performers, there is promising upside, and you get to work with some of the best leaders in the organization. On the investment management team, leadership quality is more uneven, and there appears to be a lack of management experience, which has created gaps in coaching, accountability, and overall team development. As a result, performance outcomes have lagged, with the majority of BDRs and AEs struggling to consistently hit target. Team turnover has also been notably high, and leadership engagement only increased after a large portion of the team had already decided to leave, which by that point felt too late to rebuild morale or trust.
