Pros

The overall workplace culture is positive and the team I had the pleasure of working with made the job worth while! There is always room to move around with the company constantly acquiring new properties.

Cons

New pay structure is risky. Increase in work, decrease in pay...you will eventually began to feel like you're swimming upstream. Benefits start to feel less beneficial because they are pitched to you instead of explained.
