Pros

benefit package, mission and colleagues

Cons

If you're a 30 something year old male, great company for you. Good ole' boy network for sure. Track record of promoting 30+ year old males lacking experience. Apply with them if you fit this description.

Pros

TCB has many parts and takes on many types of development work. The company includes real estate development, finance, legal, property management, asset management, resident services, and corporate departments - all spread throughout different geographies. The experience there varies tremendously - as these Glassdoor reviews show - by which corner of TCB people end up in. The real estate development, finance, and legal departments are strong. They take on a variety of project types and allow for tremendous learning as staff grapple with extremely difficult deals. Pay is better than many non-profit developers but less than for-profit competitors.

Cons

Property management has long been a challenge. Its high turnover, overhead costs, operating expenses, and outcomes are a drag on the overall business. It makes development harder. It hurts reputation. And, the HR needs of a property management firm and a developer are very different. The spread of different needs across the organization have led to the creation of much organizational overhead and some lack of focus on core mission and business.

Pros

Leadership Team is generously fed three full meals a day in the never-ending huddle to reinvent themselves with slogans and survey monkeys. Cake is served once a month.

Cons

Recently sold corporate headquarters to raise cash to keep going. Management has no idea how much work there is to do, how many people it will take to do it, the qualifications or tools needed. There is no training, no effective supervision, no accountability. Attempts to fix real obstacles to completion are treated with hostility by the corporate hobbits in the shire. The workforce is cheap unqualified labor, college-age kids who tune out what is going on around them with earphones and stays less than a year, and handful of hard-working employees burned out from juggling the fallout. Read through the reviews, you'll find employees who can not spell or speak in complete sentences giving great reviews and explaining how quickly they were promoted up the ranks and smart, articulate employees explaining how poorly they are treated.
