Pros

Inside the Ogilvie train station, so a quick a walk down to the French Market. Decent happy hours and employee engagement activities. Great health benefits.

Cons

Where to start.. the building and office itself looked as if it belonged in the medieval times. Zero effort to improve the office (except the plants, those were a nice touch). I suppose this is how CRE is, but GLP was the epitome of an old man's dirty game. Management lies through their teeth during Town Halls, culture and morale is the lowest I've ever seen. The only way to get promoted, is if your manager or a senior quits. Otherwise, you're a peasant there for life. Several managers who have no business managing people have been promoted simply because their senior quit. HR is involved in creating a toxic environment, which leads to people being skeptical about their own HR department.

Pros

- good location for commuters i.e. connected to ogilvie and short walk to L trains - consistent employee engagement i.e. annual summer event, happy hours, department outings - compensation higher than standard average

Cons

- little growth i.e. senior staff must leave to be promoted at associate/sr associate level - VP level and above promotions based on gender and favoritism - minimal diversity in office - lack of confidentiality and inappropriate involvement of day to day decision making with HR - rules and standards not applying to all staff based on favoritism - ZERO transparency i.e. monthly town halls for show and not telling - lack of promised cross training - culture committee not able to improve culture i.e. HR red tape - lack of job security and leadership changes in short time frame i.e. firings in winter 2018, lay-off in spring 2019, company sold summer 2019 - small office high-school dynamic i.e. popularity contest v. actual work ethic will get one far
