Pros

Initially it sounded like a great challenge. A newly created position in the IT department with as-yet undefined responsibilities.

Cons

It didn't take long (about two months) to realize that IT was highly disorganized and any suggestions for process improvement promptly ignored by mid level management that were generally too busy fighting fires to deal with actually improving the situation to avoid future fires. The actual CEO of the company was a very good person to work with, visionary! The CIO had no guts or gumption and spent most of the time dodging anything controversial or percieved to make him look unpopular with the Board. He has now been terminated (thankfully) but unfortunately the CEO has moved on. Layoffs underway. The current gentleman at the helm is a good person (Walter) and I wish him the best.

Pros

Exceptional institutional industrial real estate company. Incredible culture with great people and lots of diversity. Endless opportunities for growth and mentorship if you put in the work and do your job well.

Cons

Most people say they are underpaid. New executive committee, going through large structural changes and sometimes stray away from their main core business of industrial real estate.

Pros

As a Maintenance Technician, I take pride in helping maintain some of the highest-quality industrial and commercial properties in the industry. It’s rewarding to know that my work directly contributes to our customers’ success and operational efficiency. Working for Prologis means being part of an organization that prioritizes safety, training, and operational excellence. Having the right tools, resources, and support allows me to perform my job effectively and safely. I’m proud to be part of a team that values its people and invests in maintaining best-in-class facilities. I have the opportunity to solve problems, support our customers, and contribute to the overall success of our properties every day. I play an important role in ensuring our buildings remain safe, reliable, and operating at a high standard. It’s rewarding to know that my work helps support the supply chains and businesses that keep the economy moving.

Cons

The expectations for building maintenance and customer service are high, which can make for busy days, but it also creates opportunities to learn and develop new skills. Depending on the property portfolio, there may be times when multiple priorities need attention at once, requiring strong time-management and problem-solving skills.
