Pros

Health insurance and fringe benefits are pretty good. Lower/middle legal management is competent and try to promote a healthy team atmosphere (despite negativity from other departments). Job security is decent. Yearly bonus has been consistent for several years.

Cons

Unrealistic timelines. Legal teams are wholly understaffed. Sales and Leasing management is out of touch and promote a toxic work environment. For a company that loves to say it promotes a healthy work-life balance, they do little to help alleviate the incredibly heavy workload. Salary is not competitive with other similar employers. Anytime you ask for a raise they give you an excuse as to why it’s not possible. Instead, they give you more projects and increase your workload as a way to “get you more exposure.” Little room for advancement. Upper management is completely out of touch.

Pros

Overall, it’s not the worst place to work, but there are several shortcomings the company needs to address. The biggest positive is the people — about 95% of the team was great to work with and genuinely trying to do their best for the company and for themselves. The 401(k) match is strong, though it does require several years of employment before fully vesting. The overall benefits package is average — not exceptional, but generally decent.

Cons

Below‑market compensation and less‑than‑desirable annual raises and bonuses. Increases at the time of promotions were often limited due to a lack of employee leverage. Long‑term employees were not brought up to market rates, while new hires frequently came in earning more than those with tenure and proven performance. Subpar HR team — they are focused solely on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. Unfair practices regarding hybrid and remote schedules. Many employees are allowed to work remotely while the company preaches to the rest that remote work is not an option. Even individuals on the same team or within the same department are given different arrangements. Senior staff are often granted privileges that their direct reports are denied. They heavily preach cost‑cutting, yet allow certain teams to be wasteful and fund perks or community engagement events that fall short of their goals and misuse resources.
