Pros

None besides the the presence of my co-workers, which merely got me through working at the company.

Cons

I've never worked at a company, or more specifically for a team before that ripped and shredded me to my core. Team Cons: -Unrealistic expectations and deadlines -Emails and text messages at 10PM -No flexibility/work-life balance -Be expected to work 12 hour days because "that's just the industry" -Scolded for taking time off and fear of requesting PTO -No respect or gratitude for hard work and hours put into projects -Toxic work environment; the constant feeling that you're walking on eggshells -No clear signal on when it is acceptable to close your laptop and end the day -Pretty much being set up for failure -No satisfaction from boss; nothing is ever good enough -Constantly blamed for things that go wrong (whether minor or on a larger scale), but ohhhhh it's never my boss's fault when something goes wrong on their end -Hostile comments, made to feel incompetent, talked down to etc. -No mentorship and no support from boss -No rewards or incentives such as being able to leave early, happy hours, lunches etc. Company Cons: -Pretentious -Dry and dull environment -Forced unnatural conversations in the break-room when you're just trying to fill up your water cup -No company culture - If you don't contribute to golf or sports conversations or activities, you're considered lame (however that may just be the CRE industry in general) -Person(s) in charge of HR WILL NOT fight for you or other employees. They will try to remain as neutral as possible. NO BACK BONE.

Pros

When I first joined Newmark in 2021 I could not have been more happy with the company, my manager, leadership, compensation, growth, and opportunities

Cons

The company made the decision to replace US based workers with employees based in Mexico so that they could offer lower wages. It was extremely disappointing to find that after almost five years with the company that I would be replaced by employees who could afford to accept lower wages.
