Pros

Good pay and benefits. Opportunity to work independently without being micromanaged.

Cons

I think we work hard and deserve more time off. Also if you support an AVP or CAM they get bonuses and we are not compensated at ALL. At the very least we should recieve a gift card for complimentary lunch or spa treatment...a little something to say "thanks for your hard work". The Administrative Assts are also seen as expendable. If we mess up they will fire us in a heartbeat but if the Assistant Vice-Presidents screw up they just get transfered.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
