Pros

Outside of upper management, people here were great to work with. Single person health benefits were decent and included vision and dental

Cons

Where to begin...these are in no specific order 1) You come in to work not knowing if you'll have a job at the end of the day 2) Will lay-off whole divisions of the company for absolutely no reason. (Don't believe me? Ask the 20-30 Building Engineers and Porters they let-go of for absolutely no reason.) 3) No sense of structure or stability 4) Only 6 paid holidays and absolutely pathetic vacation/sick leave accrual 5) No bonuses, not even any vocal recognition for going above and beyond 6) Overworked and underpaid 7) No performance based raises. If you don't ask for a raise, you'll never get one, but if you do ask for one be ready to get fired. 8) Very poor communication between office personnel and field employees, made a lot of work difficult to accomplish 9) Company is cheap and not willing to spend the money to get things done the right way, also made getting work done difficult 10) Upper management started micromanaging field employees to a seriously invasive degree. 11) Company rarely paid contractors and vendors on time, leaving field employees unable to finish work for tenants or on building equipment

Pros

They pay very generous base salaries, somewhere in the 89th percentile for many positions Normal working hours

Cons

Turnover is very high and people get fired without an opportunity to improve Very strange family dynamic in the office--especially if you are not in their inner circle The office is so crowded that one does not have privacy of personal space, e.g., no cubicles, just desks

Pros

Relax atmosphere and nice people to work with. Some of the people in management are nice. Office is in a great location.

Cons

No 401k match, no life insurance, no short term or long term disability and no bonus. We don't have laptops, so forget about working from home. We are open ALL THE TIME! Office is not closed on major snow days or anything. We don't get let out early the day before a holiday. We strictly only get those holidays off. No Christmas Eve, Black Friday, etc. We aren't even allowed to listen to music with headphones!
