Pros

Redwood gives superior salaries to make up for the hours and demands. They also highly encourage you to learn about the industry and to move between departments. They pay for their employees to take a Volunteer day and do various outings to promote team building.

Cons

The COO, recently promoted from VP of Residential has a poor attitude toward his workers and can often be heard yelling and demeaning them. If you are not a part of his Frat Boy Club, you are most likely to be let go in less than two years and not have opportunities for promotion.

Pros

This is a great place to have your first job. You will be able to learn a lot in a relative short time. If you manage to get up to manager here you'll be set.

Cons

Don't expect a huge pay or sincere interest in a personal development tailored to your needs (unless you are nearing manager level). Recognition only comes from your direct managers and peers if you manage your relationship well. Senior management (Partners) will not know who you are unless you will be able to distinguish yourselfs from several dozen peers. Significant investement required, don't count on a Work/Life Balance that would fit a 8to17 job. Find one fitting 7to22.
