Pros

Please refer to cons section.

Cons

Not only the Market Vice President (MVP) of the Workplace market communicate antagonistically and abrasively with female staff, staff are also spoken to and treated condescendingly. If you speak up and stand up for your rights, you no longer have a place in the company. In a time where diversity of thoughts and experience should be elevated and celebrated, this firm makes sure to blatantly squash and oppress it. If you are looking to progress your career where differing thoughts and ideas are welcomed, look elsewhere.

Pros

- Training programs have been put in place to allow better career growth for most employees, with very positive advocates to ensure its success. - Some managers and leaders seem to genuinely care and are invested in the success of not only their group, but also their employees. - The Employee Advocates for some groups are fantastic, and really focused on the employee and the best way to help them.

Cons

- Lack of transparency from some leaders, which creates mistrust and a negative culture in some groups. - Lack of accountability from more tenured employees with no consequences. - Some employees still hold a very "good old boys club" mindset when dealing with coworkers, which even when reported was not resolved or any action taken. - A LOT of lip service in certain markets and never any action. If action was taken by an employee, it reflected negatively on them. - Employee Advocates in some groups were more focused on advocating for their leader or director and not the employee, regardless of what the employee brought to their attention or had concerns on. This created an extreme culture of distrust and negativity in certain groups.

Pros

I worked in the Tampa office. Lots of interesting projects to work on. Enjoyed a fairly collaborative environment with architects and other interior designers. Salary was average, especially compared to senior management salaries. Nice physical space to work in daily.

Cons

Very low morale due to management pressures and many unspoken expectations. Direct manager was very cold and not helpful.
