Pros
The dept where I worked was full of mostly great people. There was a real team mentality and support from the C-suite down. The Westcor team always seemed to try and maintain the values and culture to keep the Macerich culture of kill or be killed at bay. If you worked in IT, the rest of the company trusted and believed in you to get things done. They really listened to the voice of the customer.
Cons
Some within the team were rsther backstabbing and/or just plain incompetent. Yet, they were kept on because they hoodwinked the manager into liking them. Some managers and up should have never gotten the position they were given. It's just that some senior personnel get too attached and won't fire them. Some of those people and managers are still there today. The Macerich culture is what has ruined the brand, overall. The flippant nature of direction, without sharing with and empowering employees to make it reality, yet holding them accountable, has driven the company into a hole. I believe Macerich will end up being taken over by the likes of Simon or GGP within the decade, as they continue to back themselves into a smaller and smaller footprint to the point of irrelevancy. HR is a complete joke. One HR senior person brags of her augmentation, yet removes good people on the flimsiest of circumstances. The rest of HR is as bad or worse.
