Pros

Pays well, smart management, good benefits, good growth opportunities. It's a good place to work for ambitious, hard-working individuals, who are team players and are prepared to work a lot.

Cons

This is not specific to this company, but it has a sink or swim mentality. If you're not excellent you might be summarily terminated - but that's not surprising.

Pros

REIT understands its bottom line and is focused on results. Could be a fantastic company to work for if the firm intelligently communicated and invested in its employees. Unfortunately, this is its achilles heel.

Cons

Disfunctional interoffice communication. Poor training. Horrendous employee retention rate. While sr. mgt. is great at attaining company directives, little effort is invested in cultivating or motivating performing talent. Many talented individuals leave due to the firm's inability to communicate honestly in a forthright manner. Although senior mgt is for the most part talented, certain key roles are currently posted by "pretenders". A solid firm should be able to recognize such liabilities and root them out.

A well run Retail REIT

Pros

Great opportunity to really understand a well run Retail REIT. Employees and colleagues are professional and respectful of one another.

Cons

The management style from the top down is one that is focused on results more than people. In this economy, the company is less of a risk taker than it has been in the past, which is good for shareholders and probably good for long term stability, but hard on the people who are working there.
