Pros

There is nothing to promote this company.

Cons

This small REIT pretends to be a large investment bank. Buyer be aware… this is not an investment bank but,… you will be micromanaged and work investment banking hours 60-80 a week. This is not a joke Microsoft outlook sent me an email that stated I spent 70% of my day in meetings. Not an efficient use time. You will then scratch your head and wonder why on earth you still work at this “fake” investment bank? Do the opposite of Nike just don’t do it!

Pros

Decent Salary, Benefits, Most of the team was good to work with.

Cons

Advancement tied to internal alliances rather than merit: Career growth often seems influenced more by aligning with specific internal groups or personalities than by demonstrated performance. This creates an atmosphere where favoritism can overshadow objective evaluation, making it difficult for employees who prefer to focus on delivering quality work rather than navigating internal politics. Unprofessional behavior inadvertently rewarded: The culture can sometimes reinforce behaviors that are unprofessional or counterproductive. Individuals who are more aggressive or disruptive may receive attention or influence, while those who prioritize collaboration, respect, and consistent performance often see far less recognition. This dynamic can erode team morale and contribute to a sense of inequity. Inconsistent and unclear leadership communication: Direction from leadership is often fragmented or shifts without clear explanation, leaving teams unsure about priorities, responsibilities, and long-term goals. This lack of clarity can lead to rework, misalignment across departments, and a general feeling of instability, making it difficult to plan or perform effectively.
