Vantaggi
Can be fun to be part of building something with the massive growth tear the company has been on. Work life balance in my office was good but varies. Entrepreneurial culture that doesn’t usually stand in your way and allows you a good deal of autonomy. Less corporate feel than competitors.
Svantaggi
Number 1 problem is that the corporate leadership ranges from awful to nonexistent depending on the way the wind blows. Very backward and things you take for granted at JLL/CBRE they don’t have here. No 401k match. No corporate cards for staff or brokers. “Everything is difficult here” - is the number one quote from any newish broker or staff. most still have desktop computers, won’t give you a headset, using old clunky monitor...the list goes on. Very little to no guidance has been offered on how all of the mergers/acquisitions. For staff, no raises (2% if you’re lucky) and minuscule bonuses mostly in the form of equity in a company who’s stock is not performing well.
