Pros
If you end up with a good staff, they can be a joy to work with.
Cons
Archstone has been devastated by its ill-conceived and disastrous partnerships with Lehman Brothers (out of business) and Bank of America (huge Federal government bail out). While other companies are expanding, building and acquiring properties and new buildings, Archstone is trying to sell off properties, which is causing poor morale within the company, especially those at buildings that have been on the market. Management does not want to promise employees will be part of Archstone when the buildings are sold. If you want a future, work for a company that is expanding. If you question the VERY questionable decisions made throughout every level of the company, you will quickly learn how little they want you to stay. Worst of all, Archstone is committed to building a workforce that views itself as retail instead of professional. Those with a brain and a heart need not apply.
