Pros

Great balance sheet and some very intelligent people. They will spend money on projects and do things that others cannot b/c FRIT carries so little property-secured debt.

Cons

Unnecessary culture of fear and favorites played. There is an inordinate amount of power consolidated at the COO level that is customarily spread throughout an organization - this would be good if the COO was open to suggestions and constructive criticism, but that is not the case.

Pros

I really liked the personalities of most of the people I worked with. The work load was doable and there was minimal supervision, and when questions arose, they were answered promptly. The benefits are second to none. I was impressed that employees still received bonuses and raises, given the economic climate.

Cons

When there are people underperforming, they are not reprimanded. At times, it seems like mediocrity is tolerated or sometimes encouraged. There was not any cross-department transitions, however much they emphasize it. While there are annual raises, the initial salary is low compared to similar positions at other companies.

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.
