Horrible management, pay, and benefits - Administrative Assistant Real Capital Solutions Employee Review

Pros

There are no pros at this company

Cons

RCS says they offer 401K but it's really profit sharing (so no company match unless the company has had a successful year). Also not fully vested until 5 years. They offer very little vacation time and sick time is separate (with an expectation that staff shouldn't use sick time). You get some holidays off but not all. Basically, it's like working at a company from the 50s with "benefits" that are antiquated and not in line with every other investment firm. I was expected to work over 40 hours a week and not get paid for overtime even though I was not in a management position. I typically worked 50 hours a week and found out later that some of my peers who had more responsibilities than me were getting overtime.

Pros

Learn all stages of the acquisition and due dilligence process early in your career vs. working on an assembly line at a large conglomerate. Entrepreneurial acquisitions teams (2 person teams assigned territories / can go anywhere in the U.S. for off-market deals). Ability to buy just about anything that makes sense. Not confined to any boxes, aside from trying to play investment cycles. Not a fund motivated to deploy whatever raised capital is available....this is an extremely disciplined investor. All said, it's a great learning opportunity. Career trajectory was good for a person at the firm 5 years. Hard work required. Much of the profits will end up going to charities including the principal's foundation.

Cons

At least in the acquisitions department with 2-person teams, it's about your direct boss more than the greater company. Culture is relatively old-school and penny pinching = don't expect many events, social aspect is what you make of it, office is quiet and it's not a big priority for the business to curate strong relationships between employees / departments. Like many real estate PE investment firms, one person ultimately runs the show. The principal has been around the block and has been successful for 50+ years. He will greatly decide on deals that get done, what the targets are through real estate cycles, etc. Not a ton of advice is taken in earnest from his teams. Fair enough when it's your money, but the company would definitely benefit from taking action on collective opinions.
