Pros
Hires under the ideology that an employee that is a good fit with his/her coworkers is more productive than an employee who isn't, no matter what the experience level. This fosters a caring and cooperative environment. Upper executive management has been trying more in the past few years to be as transparent as possible with all properties. Continued education and skill development is a priority; plenty of opportunity for training for all employees. Incredibly smart and innovative coworkers that are always willing to impart knowledge. Idea of the "Hines culture" which fosters good work relationships and rewards those who go the extra mile.
Cons
As with most property management companies, pay is not spectacular. Low turnover rate is a blessing and a curse, because new positions in upper management rarely open up, making it somewhat difficult to advance in title. Working in property management is a bit isolating at times.
