Pros

The culture, coworkers, and growth of the company as a whole.

Cons

Mediocre wage for the volume of work that is expected out of the Analysts. It can be stressful during peak seasons, to the point you're overwhelmed day-in and day-out. Lastly, there is much more focus on lateral movements than true advancement. For some, it takes well over three years to be recognized for promotions.

Pros

-Exposure to and opportunity to work closely with large corporations -Good opportunity to learn a lot about real estate transactions -Brand new office that is nice -Good pay and PTO

Cons

My biggest complaint about C&W is the culture. There is absolutely NO professional development outside of an occasional Excel course, and don't expect to actually have your boss (who will change constantly) care about you or your development within the company. I agree with the other person who essentially said, "they treat you like a replaceable number." People just come in, slave away to the client all day, and leave. Is it a holiday? You're on vacation that day? No one cares. You'll get emails about some client "fire drill" and will have to drop everything to address it...without even a simple "thank you."

Pros

Nice PTO but not much else

Cons

They’d rather hire what’s easy from the outside than promote from within. Their priorities do not consist of your growth, only their needs. It doesn’t matter what position you apply for trying to transition from on-site to corporate, you’ll never amount to anything more than what you are. in their eyes it’s easier to hire someone externally than to give somebody a shot. This is proven time and time again when they post job openings and then internal applicants get turned down because they don’t care about you as people. The regionals are literally on site maybe once every 6-8 months at most. They are disengaged and expect managers to do everything, even when it relates to life and death situations. HR will let anybody call in sick or misbehave and will never fire someone. They have a terrible training program, policies with so many loopholes and gray areas, and corporate is pretty much hands off on anything. You have to go to so many places just to get an answer for something and some policies and resources are dated all the way back to the early 2010’s. It’s quite sad to you, because this company has potential to be great yet their leadership lacks the ability to lead people.
