Pros

Beautiful office building, newly remodeled.

Cons

First week on the job, two accountants left. one month later two more were gone. There is laughter in other departments, but the CFO better not hear laughter in the Accounting Department. She comes out several times a day and does a surprise walk around where she glaringly checks to make sure people are heads down and working. No checking your phone! You get an hour for lunch, but deadlines are such that you often can't take it and lunches are "scheduled". So if you miss it - too bad I guess. You start at 8:00 and you come in at 8:05 - it is noticed. It doesn't matter if you worked an hour late the night before. You work through lunch - you can NOT leave early. At this level of your career no other company treats their employees this way. I felt like I was a high-schooler working my first job at McDonalds the way I was watched! It was ridiculous! Very oppressive. Steer clear!!

Pros

-Great networking opportunities. -Good IT support. -Great benifits. -Great employee housing discount and housing opportunities. -Commissions will make your paycheck worth it.

Cons

-Management is broad and impersonal. You may feel like a number. -Your workload can be a lot at times. if you work well under pressure, you'd succeed here. -The leasing season is not year round meaning you will have slow months and you will have good ones. Save in the good months to get through the slow ones. -High turnover. Resilience will get you far. -It's rare that you get your weekends at a company like this.
