Pros

I haven't had any positive experiences within the company over the last 4 years. I stay due to my age, don't want to start a new job. Over-worked and very under-paid

Cons

Experience a lot of Workplace Incivility; when discussed with upper management treatment got worse. I dread going to work, it is down right depressing. My direct manager has his favorites; it is well know, everyone else is a second thought to his day

Pros

#1 in the commercial real estate industry in terms of closing deals

Cons

HR does not say "no" to the business when a request, from a system perspective, is simply impossible OR would translate into endless hours of work by its employees to accomplish. Instead, they pile more and more onto the staff and expect to NOT have turnover. Due to EEO regulations, the HR dept is run from a CYA mode of operation. You spend more time documenting why you are / are not doing something than actually doing it.

Pros

They look good on a resume and they are a well known company that can give you really useful experience

Cons

The communication between management and staff on all levels is really nonexistent. Managers have this idea where you should only talk to immediate management about situations and you should "stay in your place". They do things to say they value you but don't show you respect on the regular.
