Pros

Office is in nice area. Offer a decent amount of free food.

Cons

Finance department is top down micromanagement. You will be overworked by a select few people who have no sense of work life balance who make this department miserable, just so C suite level staff can brush you off as a "bean counter". (Not to mention that when our intern came to present their final project that they prepared for some months some of the C-Suite walked out because they were too uninterested to even see what they had to present.) Promotions are gatekept because everyone you will work with has a "yes-man" mentality to management for working extra for free because they want to show that they "love their jobs" and expect you to do the same. This is because they stigma of being an accountant with no sense of confidence in yourself. Processes and Systems used are extremely outdated and expectations are completely out of touch due to certain members "voluntolding" unnecessary work on you to fill in your already crunched high-paced high-stress schedule while being extremely understaffed. (You will spend literally half the year just closing books on a tight schedule.) They claim this is because they take pride in running a "lean" department when in reality the overturn is so high they have to replace team members every year because they cannot handle the pace. They have no consideration for a personal life, and will never let you work from home even though they give you all of the equipment to do so. The only reason they give you this equipment is to work extra hours on your free time because they are to close minded to improve their processes to be less manual. The work will become extremely repetitive and there is a select few people you will work with that you will quickly realize that make the rest of the team stressed out and constantly behind. For the amount of work you will do, you are extremely underpaid and underappreciated. If you take this role, good luck.

Pros

Offers a dynamic role with diverse responsibilities, providing opportunities for leadership, skill development, and insights into the real estate industry.

Cons

This position I held was demanding, involving a consistently high level of stress due to heavy workloads and responsibilities. Unfortunately, the compensation offered did not align with the demands and expectations of the role, resulting in an imbalance between effort and reward.

Pros

There are no pros at all outside of ok money

Cons

Cult like environment. You sell the worst houses in trash areas to trash customers. Everyone you work for is an idiot yes man and a scumbag. You spend all of your time working and hearing do you see the value in that. By far the most toxic place I’ve ever worked.
