Pros

Great work/life balance Great people provide alternate work schedules (compressed work week or work from home two days per week)- some departments excellent paid time off

Cons

no growth in current department (CMBS) uncertainty, recently laid off 70 employees middle managers do not like to make decisions about process improvement, when they do it is often about policy and proceedures which limits employees to find creative solutions in this ever changing market

Pros

Flexibility is what sells this place as a great place to work. Hybrid schedule, great PTO, no guilt trips for needing time off for family matters.

Cons

Your experience will vary greatly based on your manager. One asset manager can freely call in or wfh without worry where another AM may be reprimanded for the same. The insurance department is completely inept. Borrowers are constantly threatening to sue because our insurance dept management sucks. Very little training across most departments. Some people work very very hard, others dont work at all, there doesnt seem to be much oversight there. When a manager tells their employee "dont expect to get promoted next year" with no guidance or encouragement, you pretty much kill all motivation for that employee to do better. They will hire people as senior staff and pay them way more than their seasoned employees make, and then tell their seasoned employees not to expect a senior promotion.
