Pros

There are none that I can list

Cons

Fun fact - for those who know, Kam's is a well-known bar in Champaign. Core Spaces one day decided to tear down the old location of Kam's in the campus downtown area to build a new student housing high-rise in its place. Core Spaces worked with the bar to relocate them to a property owned by....you guessed it....Core Spaces. In this premeditated move, Core Spaces now charges Kam's substantially more in rent - somewhere around three times the previous amount, in fact. This is called rentflation. If you keep reading reviews, you'll notice that rentflation is this company's specialty. To recap - this company will evict you and allow you to reapply as a tenant at much higher rental rates; steal your rental payments altogether by not providing proper, positive tenant/landlord experiences; derail careers by laying off employees for leadership greed-related purposes; and/or demolish property so it can exponentially profit off of the vulnerable.

Pros

Great place to learn, collaborate with other teams, and see the results of the work you put in. Good benefits and relaxed work environment that makes being at the office a great place to work. The people really make this place what it is.

Cons

Summers are very busy (common for student housing) and collaboration across teams is not always a smooth process.
