Pros

The company is one of the best in the real estate business. You can learn from a lot of top notch people here - they're professional and great at what they do. You get a lot of exposure to excellent projects as well. The culture is great and people are really friendly. A good work/life balance, they're really flexible on time and giving you what you need when life circumstances happen. Great stepping stone and growing opportunity.

Cons

The pay is on the lower side. There are no real opportunities for growth in the administrative assistant role. There isn't enough diversity. Most women are in admin positions. There's a set hierarchy here and support roles aren't given enough credit. Office politics can be a little exhausting.

Pros

I wish there was one.

Cons

HR while quick to respond doesn’t actually care about what you have to say. Immediately takes the side of the manager when they should be taking the side of the company and protecting it. Instead ignoring managements actions and alienating the staff. Their hiring standards was horrible the management is inept at doing their job. Find a better PM or FM company to work for.

Pros

Really depends on the office/region. I have an at- to above-market salary, great benefits, bonus, and additional pay. I work normal hours. I'm not micro-managed. But I'm told that others here in other departments are paid below market. Company is privately held and likes it that way. Lots of integrity and loyalty. Nothing shady in any business practices. Good place to come in at junior level for 2 years and have the name on your resume.

Cons

In my particular office, senior management likes to keep people in their respective sandboxes. Once you're in a role, there's little chance of transferring to a different side of the business. Management is bloated with people with 25+ years tenure and old-school ideas. Resistant to change, risk averse. Older managers know all and the younger ones are expected to march in step and do work assigned to them. Managing Directors are like equity partners, so they only care that you bust your a*s so they can make money. Very little opportunity for promotion in development/investment unless you are Ivy league MBA with pedigree (they LOVE pedigree). And if you're a woman? Forget it. There are hardly any women in management roles outside of HR or accounting. Highest company executives are an old boys club who have known each other for 35 years. Inner circle, no one else allowed -it's an aristocracy.
