Pros

Wonderful values, nice office, great co workers, great mission statement. Holiday parties are nice.

Cons

Supporting 3+ people at a time is too overwhelming, felt more like a personal assistant at times than an admin. There are too many egos and personalities to handle for one person. I think some of the people don't realize that this isn't vogue or glamour magazine they're working for, it's property management. One mistake, and they're quick to write you off and make you feel like garbage. Micro managing doesn't exist and if you ask a question, you get lectured. Upper management should have their own Personal/Admin assistant. They act like they're way too above to do certain things for themselves. I had to get out because I was tired of feeling low and afraid to attend work.

Pros

Bonus is good and so are the people

Cons

The company has changed. Salaries aren’t competitive compared to the market and the pressure is extremely high. No room for growth in some departments. Senior leadership are driving people away in droves.
