Pros

RELATED offers great benefits, is extremely generous with days off for being sick, and provides days off for all holidays.

Cons

The district and regional level managers that RELATED Management Co., LP hired between 2012-current are incompetent, conceited, condescending and completely unqualified. As well, RELATED prides itself on being a 'respect-based management company', however, the district and regional manager(s) do not, in any way, cultivate a respect-based management environment. The district and regional manager(s) have this attitude of 'do as your told and not as I do'. Further, there is no one holding them accountable. Since no one is holding them accountable, they are able to make horrible decisions with absolutely no consequences. As well, since they are the individuals that relay all the information to those above them, no one ever discovers that they are making poor decisions. Those above them are clueless to the fact that majority of site level staff are very unhappy, most site staff feel they are not being treated fairly/equally and an unfriendly culture has been created where employees are over-worked, under-appreciated and treated poorly by district and regional level staff members who, if had to manage the properties that they are mistreating, would fail miserably because they lack the knowledge and experience necessary.

Pros

Health benefits. PTO plan. 401K. Company holidays.

Cons

Absolutely no work life balance. Condescending and aggressive senior corporate leadership. Unrealistic goals and high demands with no support. Promotion of Company values that truly mean nothing to senior corporate leadership, as they themselves do not lead by example in this area and actually do the opposite when they think no one is looking. Senior corporate leadership that is sadly two faced. Sites that are expected to perform at high levels with no money to actually meet the high expectations or make a difference at their site. Lack of effective hands on training or leaders at the senior corporate level that truly know how sites operate, but continue to make decisions that ultimately make the site level teams jobs harder. Too many conference calls or WebEx's to the point that you truly cannot get work accomplished in a work day as you are on one WebEx or conference call after another, but then are scolded for not making improvements at your site. It's not about what you know at this company, but who you know.

Toxic and Entitled

Pros

Lots of exposure and career/networking opportunities. Working for Related also carries a certain amount of prestige once you leave the company.

Cons

The company is run by a bunch of rich, old white men and the ivy league dudebros that they groom to be as entitled and poorly behaved as they are. This toxicity trickles down from the very top--starting with Stephen Ross. The result is a deeply politicized and abusive environment. Get your two or three years in, and then get out.
