Pros

None besides the the presence of my co-workers, which merely got me through working at the company.

Cons

I've never worked at a company, or more specifically for a team before that ripped and shredded me to my core. Team Cons: -Unrealistic expectations and deadlines -Emails and text messages at 10PM -No flexibility/work-life balance -Be expected to work 12 hour days because "that's just the industry" -Scolded for taking time off and fear of requesting PTO -No respect or gratitude for hard work and hours put into projects -Toxic work environment; the constant feeling that you're walking on eggshells -No clear signal on when it is acceptable to close your laptop and end the day -Pretty much being set up for failure -No satisfaction from boss; nothing is ever good enough -Constantly blamed for things that go wrong (whether minor or on a larger scale), but ohhhhh it's never my boss's fault when something goes wrong on their end -Hostile comments, made to feel incompetent, talked down to etc. -No mentorship and no support from boss -No rewards or incentives such as being able to leave early, happy hours, lunches etc. Company Cons: -Pretentious -Dry and dull environment -Forced unnatural conversations in the break-room when you're just trying to fill up your water cup -No company culture - If you don't contribute to golf or sports conversations or activities, you're considered lame (however that may just be the CRE industry in general) -Person(s) in charge of HR WILL NOT fight for you or other employees. They will try to remain as neutral as possible. NO BACK BONE.

Pros

Decent office, PTO, and Benefits.

Cons

Worst company I’ve ever worked at! No transparency from leadership. Lack of direction from leadership. Employees are set to fail from the beginning, with daily changing priorities and zero communication. Leadership blames employees for mistakes that are set up by leadership. A revolving door, employees disappeared every two, three, six, and eight months. Some employees resigned, and others were laid off, and there is no explanation from leadership. Many employees take the offer and leave their current employer, only to find out it's the biggest mistake they've made by coming to work at this company. Many high-producing brokers feel that they are “Gods.” Every team works in silos. This company has no culture at all. Don't work for this company, run the other way!
