      Seven Years in the Industry: Favorite Company So Far

      Area leasing consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Areas of opportunity available for growth (can be market dependant if smaller) - Rent discount above the typical industry standard of a flat 20% - Implemented a Values Council who collaborate on matters of: diversity, equity, inclusion, social responsibility, sustainability employee engagement and total wellbeing - Training(s) and support systems available for a multitude of topics

      Cons

      - They offer a Flex Schedule but certain positions are exempt - Commission payout is low compared to competitors - For my specific market, I wish Corporate / Senior Management had more interactions with on-site employees
