Vantaggi
The company seems like a great place to work from the outside. It’s a very big commercial real estate platform with strong brand recognition and excellent cross-selling potential. Also potential for upward mobility but most non-production employees aren’t paid appropriately for the level of work they do.
Svantaggi
Very shady with pay. People are often promoted mid-year without a bump in salary. The whole company has to wait until mid-March to learn about salary and bonuses, and they are often quite disappointing. The CEO has to personally approve everyone’s salary increases, which are usually based on past years’ salary, not the job the employee is actually doing. Also, one third of each bonus comes in restricted stock, which takes 3 years to vest.
