Great Company to Invest in; Poor Company to work for.

Pros

The people who work here are very nice and talented. It is a leading REIT so recognition in the industry is great, made finding a new job easy. Free soda and bagel Wednesdays.

Cons

Hours worked are above average for the industry and pay is below average. Not much opportunity for advancement, no traning provided, low morale, constant turnover. While my experience wasn't bad, it just wasn't a place that I could see a future. The company is focused on FFO and not on it's people.

Pros

There is no better place to learn real estate. You will be working with dynamic real estate professionals who know and love what they do. Free gym onsite, free parking, kitchen with free coffee and sodas. Free breakfast weekly. Many parties and other activities with coworkers. Truly casual dress from the top down.

Cons

No telecommuting even though most support staff positions are perfect candidates. Unless you are upper management you will work in an 80's era cubicle. Consultants and auditors work crammed together in windowless conference rooms. So-so benefits and a three year vesting cliff for 401k matches. Antiquated technology and a host of manual, labor-intensive processes. High rate of turnover.

Pros

Management team seems to know what they're doing. Strong portfolio of shopping centers in the DMV area. Free bagels on Wednesdays...

Cons

Several key people quit this year, and last year as well. Underlying employees generally lack professionalism and morale. Leadership isn't prevalent and guidance is frowned upon. Communication is lacking across all groups. Egos aren't checked at the door. Very difficult to grow and develop skills here. It's difficult for me to leave this review because the CEO, CFO and COO are professionals who I personally look up to. But, my overall experience was negative.
