Pros

Since I work in HR I feel like my experience is a lot different than others who are client facing. I don't even know what most of our employees do if I'm being honest. Pros:You start off with 3 weeks PTO, and 1 week sick time which is better than other places. (Pto does not roll over though). 12 week paid maternity leave and 2 week paid for fathers Personally, the managers I have had are great and truly care about employees and understand worklife balance. A lot of departments have adopted hybrid schedules post covid

Cons

People are severely underpaid. They will lowball the F out of you if possible. Do NOT take their first compensation offer. We are but a number to the executives (whats new when at a big corp). Company is SO focused on being "woke" and spending so much money forcing it's employees to take "diversity classes" so they can say they are inclusive and with the times. Goes without saying but those at the top are granted bonus after bonus while us lowly workers who oversee so many day to day operations get MAYBE a $1,000/year raise (thats $83 extra a month). Have insanely outdated systems that cause constant issues, but the systems are cheap so they would rather stick with them than invest in a solid program. Literally nothing is streamlined AT ALL High turn over due to burn out, low pay and incentives, lack of trust in the execs. Even long term employees have decided to leave to work elsewhere Good stepping stone place to get some professional experience but I think for most this is not a long term company.

Pros

The PTO and salary were decent. Good opportunity to learn about real estate and work with big-name clients. Great to build your resume...so you can leave.

Cons

The turnover rate is staggeringly high. Most people don’t last a year. Why? Well, from personal experience, you will be given more work you can handle, with management cracking the whip all day long and belittling the team. I was on a conference call once with a client and said, “We have about 5 minutes left, so I’ll try to wrap up quickly to respect everyone’s time” and got an email from my manager about a minute later berating me for that (because he severely micromanaged and sat on everyone’s conference calls in silence, only to degrade everyone afterwards for extremely minute things). Professional development? Training opportunities? Forget it. You’ll come in, slave away all day, and leave. There is nothing positive about the environment or a sense of team. Honestly, I was miserable working there.

Pros

Great company for those who really like to work. Never slow or boring. Excellent benefits and vacation time right from the start!! Great bonus structure! Overtime (after 40 hours) for non-management at time and a half your hourly rate :)

Cons

Annual reviews are a little slow-moving, but they retro the raises, so it works out just fine in the end.
