Pros

Co-workers are great, good training, clear boundaries, decent pay, decent bene's, flexible with schedules when you need them to be. Paid holidays, even your bday is a holiday you get paid for.

Cons

Bass Ackwards when it comes to promoting within. Rules are only followed when they want to say no.( Wierd 6 month policy on promoting, that really means nothing ) IF your manager wants to support you, you don't have to wait. IF they don't want to bother, you will be told, sorry! you have not been here long enough. You may need to move on, to reach any goals with BRE

Pros

Bonuses were difficult to achieve due to the requirements constantly changing and being a bit unobtainable. However, if you are good at what you do, then you can make some decent money. Beautiful communities, several wonderful individuals to work with.

Cons

It seemed like upper management lost touch with how things really are day-to-day on site. Some of their best leasers were trying to communicate what was/wasn't working and they were punished for trying to offer other suggestions. The typical "we care what you think" but don't listen attitude you see with most big companies. Secret shops are pretty much a joke. I watched some of the most successful leasers get let go due to "failed" shops, by the way a 85 is considered failing. If they would let occupancy percentages and leases speak for themselves, they'd have endless success.
