Pros

Great exposure to CRE, great benefits.Markets can be exciting or boring, depending on what you get. You get to talk to real deal makers and can make some great contacts.

Cons

One size fits all metric system

Pros

I moved down from HQ in DC in order to compete for a job in the Atlanta office. Management kept me appraised as it was being created, as well as listened to my input on the responsibilities of that job. Management is very approachable and very quick to adapt to anything could improve the workflow of the office. I enjoy the company greatly, and have often encouraged my friends to apply.

Cons

As with any job, there will be downsides. Luckily, they are minimal in the Atlanta office. The biggest complaint would be that we work with two monitors in Atlanta as compared to three in DC.

Pros

The people- never met a better group of oppressed over educated people working in a more menial job. The pub next door is pretty good after the end of another soul destroying week.

Cons

Where to start! bullying, senior management never listen to anything anyone has to say, any constructive criticism is taken on board and then you are victimized for speaking up. The only thing that keeps people there is the money - you get paid ok for doing basically nothing but rip off external websites and sit on the phone to answering machines. People are labelled, pigeonholed and bullied until they have no fight left. Simon is faceless and delegates everything to his next in command. The managers are call centre managers, who are generally nice enough but totally inequipped to deal with people, teams and have no experience in commercial property or surveying. You get patronised on a daily basis and no sympathy is given for anything. None of the management team have any respect for anyone below them. I had a different idea of what the job was from the title so I urge anyone with a focus on their prospect and making something of themselves to run a mile. you'll end up setting yourself back years. They have also obviously got some employees to review on here too which I find completely hilarious- nobody in the office was ever happy. The air con is the most fake thing to put as a con and people who wrote those reviews should be ashamed of themselves!
