Pros

Good education process. A top Company in the shopping center industry. The Company is a publicly traded REIT, accordingly value is the bottom line.

Cons

When the founder of the Company passed away the company culture changed for the worse. The treatment of long term employees became harsh. As a publicly traded company, employees became "numbers" that could be shuffled or eliminated.

Pros

- Flexable schedules and no constant clock watching - People willing to help one another

Cons

- Almost all advancement is due to who you know. Several married executaive couples in upper management and its much a bro's club. - Upper Managment is too worried about walstreet and not employees - Low paying salary compared to market and one's experience - Okay benefits (401k & Health) - Company is trying to make a smaller, yet higher quality portfolio, therefore eliminating many positions and properties. - Will demand that you work hours over and beyond what is hummanly possible at times. Work is your life!
