Pros

It’s a paycheck, fairly competitive salary.

Cons

The corporate environment is characterized by micromanaging, hindering individual growth and development. Employees feel constrained to rigidly follow prescribed methods, limiting opportunities for independent thought and exploration. A culture fostering open communication and embracing diverse perspectives might prove more productive, instead of being called into a meeting with management every time you disagree on something. The high employee turnover rate suggests potential areas for improvement in fostering staff satisfaction.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We would appreciate your initiative in reaching out to the People Operations team to help you, or we encourage you to meet with your manager's leader. We do recognize that sometimes a leader's approach to check-in on progress may be perceived as overly prescriptive when a team member has performance opportunities. Regarding turnover, it is significantly below the industry benchmark, and the last employee opinion survey, almost 9 out of 10 team members noted Core Spaces as a good place to work. So please let us help you work through the challenges you are facing.

Pros

Great place to learn, collaborate with other teams, and see the results of the work you put in. Good benefits and relaxed work environment that makes being at the office a great place to work. The people really make this place what it is.

Cons

Summers are very busy (common for student housing) and collaboration across teams is not always a smooth process.
