Pros
had places all obver US you could transfer and work at. Decent product to sell, Industry experience among staff as a whole solid
Cons
pay is lower tier, unless senior mgt and you cannot help your residents because they are too cheap, They went on merger spree in the '90s and got all this good quality product and turned it to crap, by not maintaining it. The fell through the floor in quality and then started on a selling spree. Made bad decisions in what regions to get out of before the economy went south and wonder why they can't turn a profit or hold their own. Its call stable markets, You got our of the remember,a nd you keep you blowing smoke on Wall Street like your "plan" is the way to proceed even though it wasnt the time to embark on it before a recession. You buy NYC stuff and Lehman lays off, go figure. You buy CA properties and their market tanks, unemployment at 7.7%, 18 mths later Wat state has held its own through all of this? And you betrayed it FIRST!! Go tell Wall Street your new 'plan' I bet they rocket your stock again for sticking to the plan
