Pros

The benefits are amazing. Everyone is professional and most of the associates below middle management level collaborate extremely well. I've met some very humble yet brilliant people.

Cons

There is a sense that some managers and almost all directors and above are trying to hold on to their jobs for dear-life and will use any political prowess to hold on. Since the salaries are very competitive for the DC area and there are reorgs every 6 months, I can understand why they are in survival mode to secure their $150-220k salaries.

Pros

Employees and staff are very hard working and committed to the company mission of providing affording housing to all people who want homes.

Cons

Management is not straightforward or honest about current and future plans for how the company will be run. There is a deeply engrained political hierarchy that makes advancement and career growth very difficult.

Pros

Great compensation, benefits and work life balance.

Cons

Leadership team is reluctant to make decisions so issues are swept under the rug. Most operate in silos and leaders severely lack people management skills. Promotions are based on who you know vs. what you know.
