Pros
-Good property management experience with 1st-Class properties. -Dedicated and competent site staff at all properties for the most part. -Company has a good name and image in the real estate business in general. -Benefits OK. -Many work processes are web-based or computerized and well-integrated into a common platform. -Top executives and company ownership are no-nonsense people to deal with. Great opportunity for exposure to this level of accountability.
Cons
-Increasingly unrealistic expectations of both management personnel and site staff. -Too much focus on policy and procedure vs. actually getting the job done. -Most of if not all of the upper management have no hands-on PM experience, and this detracts from their ability to understand employee roles,workdays and how to best supervise the site personnel as well as do things efficiently, cost-effectively or in a time-efficient manner. -Protectionism in the upper ranks makes everyone else dispensable.
