Pros
There was a collaborative marketing team environment. Leadership was understanding and approachable. Schedule was flexible as long as communication remained open. I had to move a couple times during my six year employment and was able to work from home without skipping a beat. The Midwest marketing team was scattered over several cities yet we still felt connected and involved as a whole team. Driven, go-getter personalities can make their own way up in the company with leadership guidance if you speak up and ask for what you want. In the almost six years I was there the quality of our team, practices, and work grew tremendously creating a huge value-add for our broker team partners. Team building zoom calls and activities were a nice touch. Team member-led education sessions were held to keep supporting each other’s growth in marketing, design, and commercial real estate knowledge. I felt valued as a team member and genuinely miss the connections I made with my teammates. Many of us still keep in touch.
Cons
Being a huge corporate company there were limits on how one could make positive changes in the company (like policies or attitudes). That being said, in our smaller geographic team, changes could be made and your voice was heard.
