      Challenging Work Environment Due to Micromanagement and Limited Leadership Support

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Team members at the peer level are generally collaborative and supportive.

      Cons

      The Atlanta industrial management team operates with excessive micromanagement, making it difficult to do your job efficiently. Employees are expected to constantly justify their work instead of being trusted to perform. The environment is hostile, and concerns raised to upper management are largely ignored. Leadership prioritizes maintaining certain leasing relationships over addressing her toxic behavior, even at the expense of employee retention.

      Pros

      Investment exposure, brand name, work life balance is not bad depending on which group you are

      Cons

      Tough culture on some teams. People are dispensable given how big the company is.
