Pros

great coworkers but they're all leaving so not many remain, large multi-national company

Cons

Manager is weak, micromanage, can't make decisions without going up the line of command, all decisions have to be made at the regional level. No autonomy, everyone is operating under fear, poor communication, and lots of turnover due to low morale and dissatisfied employees. Company is cheap even though Brookfield has deep pockets globally. No hybrid work options. Do not care about the employees.

Pros

- Autonomy - Summer hours - Casual Fridays - Complimentary coffee and soft drinks.

Cons

- Onboarding was almost non-existent (Here's your desk, now figure out the rest). - Tone-deaf and top-down corporate culture derived from those in a boardroom earning the 7-figure salary. Stuffy corporate culture. (Listen to me or get out). - Overall quality of employees are below average at what I would find in the handful of leading property owner/managed companies ($>50B AUM). - Below average compensation with archaic non-competitive benefits for a company of this size (DCPP matching only after 1st year of service, a choice of either HCSA or Wellness but not both). - Weak senior leadership (No welcome, no gratitude, no communication or direction from senior management). - Weak culture (nothing in the intranet that promotes stories of its assets or its people or reinforcing the vision/mission to make you feel like you're part of a bigger team). - Working from home is looked down with no support (no additional equipment aside the laptop). Worked in the office throughout the pandemic.

Pros

- Summer Fridays - Half days on last working day before holidays

Cons

- Toxic culture lead from the top down. Diabolical performance and attitudes of other staff seem to be tolerated or turned a blind eye to for staff of long tenure. - No onboarding or training, working in silos with zero communication within your team (no idea who is even in on any given week or what anyone is working on). - No communication about the broader business objectives or how individuals are contributing to the broader company mission. - Staff with new ideas or drive for change are silenced. - No structure to career progression or guidelines on how to progress to the next level. Lack of role clarity. - Archaic senior management leadership style that surpresses any collaboration, entrepeneurial spirit keeping morale the lowest I've ever experienced in a workplace.
