Pros

Hires under the ideology that an employee that is a good fit with his/her coworkers is more productive than an employee who isn't, no matter what the experience level. This fosters a caring and cooperative environment. Upper executive management has been trying more in the past few years to be as transparent as possible with all properties. Continued education and skill development is a priority; plenty of opportunity for training for all employees. Incredibly smart and innovative coworkers that are always willing to impart knowledge. Idea of the "Hines culture" which fosters good work relationships and rewards those who go the extra mile.

Cons

As with most property management companies, pay is not spectacular. Low turnover rate is a blessing and a curse, because new positions in upper management rarely open up, making it somewhat difficult to advance in title. Working in property management is a bit isolating at times.

Pros

Hines is widely respected within real estate circles and has a stellar reputation as a manager, developer and owner. Hines is committed to the growth of its employees and has created excellent internal training programs that share the collective experience and knowledge of the Hines team. Hines is a top real estate firm and therefore attracts some of the most dedicated and successful real estate professionals. The reputation of the firm and the top notch personnel are both excellent reasons to join Hines.

Cons

There is some compartmentalization between the different functions within the company, particularly between development and management. It is difficult to explore opportunities within other disciplines and cross-pollination between teams is not encouraged. In terms of the firm's identity, property management sometimes seems like an afterthought, which can be challenging for those in that field.

Pros

market recognition of the name, how much you can learn if you look for opportunities and potential for high variable compensation if you are at the right place, at the right time and management likes you

Cons

you need to stick around for a long time to get the big paychecks, very territorial company with very slow upward movement since higher management will stay in their positions for a long time
