Pros

There isn't any reason to work for this company.

Cons

Very nasty, unfair, and unprofessional people. All of them should be fired. They purchased buildings from Donald Trump and completely ran them to the ground.

Pros

They will allow their sleep deprived, burned out underpaid workers to make mistakes. Managers are ALWAYS quitting so it's a good stepping stone

Cons

You will be burned out helping other buildings you didn't sign up for and paint apartments constantly even if your a porter ,concierge or manager

Pros

There are not many pros to job anymore since they centralized a lot of parts of the job, but location of buildings.

Cons

commission structure changed so if you are a top performer you make less since you now have to split with whole team.
