Pros

Large corporation provides perks such as benefits, 401K match, paid vacation, etc. Also, more opportunities to promote to a higher position.

Cons

Many properties are understaffed with minimal or no administrative/clerical support. Leasing staff are expected/required to work every weekend. Work/life balance may be an issue, especially for employees with spouses and/or children.
