Pros

Overall good company, benefits, resources, training, clients, and company events.

Cons

Upper management doesn’t actually care about you. You can report TERRIBLE managers and nothing will be done. People are full of themselves and there is no sincerity.

Pros

- Experience working on some of NYC's largest commercial property and portfolio transactions - Exposure to NYC's most prominent landlords and brokers - Adequate underwriting and investment sales brokerage experience

Cons

- Toxic work environment (eg, verbal abuse from team leadership, public shaming, top-down skapegoating, and authoritarian style management) - Unsupportive, cutthroat culture (eg, "eat or be eaten" mentality and making managers look good often at the expense of lower level employees) - Fast-paced and high-intensity workplace (eg, daily fire drills, last minute deadlines, etc) - Limited training and ongoing education ("sink or swim" approach that encourages self-education but disincentivizes positive reinforcement and collaboration among colleagues) - Long hours (100+ hours per week including weekends) and frowned upon to take PTO - Low pay relative to competitors, especially in the context of the hours and culture - Pattern of pushing employees out via PIPs ("Personal Improvement Programs) when concerns or issues are vocalized to managers or HR (clear case of HR working for the company's bottom line rather than for the employee) - Nepotism in hiring processes and promotions

Pros

As a Financial Analyst for this company, I have had the opportunity to work with a great team and gain valuable experience in financial analysis and reporting. The company provides a supportive and collaborative work environment that fosters professional growth and development. One of the best things about this job is the opportunity to work on a variety of projects and interact with different departments. This has allowed me to broaden my knowledge base and learn new skills.

Cons

The workload can be heavy at times, especially during peak periods. This can lead to long hours and high stress levels. The company can be slow to make decisions and implement changes, which can be frustrating for those who are looking to move quickly. There is a lot of pressure to meet deadlines and produce accurate and detailed reports, which can be challenging for those who are new to the role. Overall, I would recommend this job to anyone who is looking for a challenging and rewarding career in financial analysis. While there are some downsides, the benefits and opportunities for growth far outweigh any negatives.
