Pros

- work from home but that changed as soon as things started opening up more There weren’t very many pros as you can see. I wasted a year of my life working for an organization that doesn’t even know how to manage or adapt to changing times let alone send an agenda before meetings. It felt like I was working in an office set in the 1950’s. Mostly men. They try to talk the talk of bipoc but they have literally no idea what they are doing i.e. equitable path forward. No internal systems set up and everyone passes the buck. To give you a sense, 5 directors left 6 months into my position. Things are crumbling, don’t get onboard a sinking ship

Cons

- top down management style - they hire fellows for cheap labor and treat them like interns -horrible leadership from the national level to market (market leader never had agendas to any meeting) disorganized and chaotic - perpetuate sexism and racism by not being transparent with salary bands or raises

Pros

Many of the long-time staff have figured out how to thrive here and are good mentors, if you can find them. Some departments are actually the best at what they do in the industry, but others have little to no leadership, quickly get overwhelmed, and just turn over 100% every couple of years. COVID flexibility was high and staff got a one time equipment stipend to better outfit WFH space. Vacation leave was good and extra accruals were granted in 2020 and 2021 without staff having to ask.

Cons

The pace is relentless, this is much more like a Big Law or McConsulting environment than you would guess from the outside but with compensation still decent but lower than those firms. Middle managers work constantly, and I mean constantly, including when they are technically on vacation. End of year is brutal for everybody with deal closings and meeting sky high targets and deadlines in a semi-dysfunctional environment. Promotions do happen internally, not always with rhyme or reason but they do. Bonus and professional development funding for line staff are totally random and I suspect made up on the spot. In 5 years I received 5different PD budgets ranging from full reimbursement of conference and dues expenses to literally 0 dollars, never with a justification or a tie to performance. I still never could predict what it'd end up being.. The annual bonus pool is supposedly for "Directors and up" only, but again, good luck understanding what that means for you when most depts don't even use that title and some junior staff do get them anyway.

Too many high paid Executives

Recommend

Pros

Strong mission and great reputation on housing field, able to wear many hats at org.

Cons

Too many executives that are disconnected to reality of organization and the marketplace. No need for CEO and president, too much money spent on executive salaries. Big gap between executive salaries and folks actually doing the work. Very too heavy and not enough attention paid to growth of staff and building new generation of leadership from within. No clear direction about growth in org. Area called “initiatives” unorganized and unclear and lacks leadership.
