Pros

The amount of mentoring happening here is great! I enjoy knowing that the promotions are based upon performance and not seniority. Hard work is rewarded and the managers/supervisors are very adamant about helping their employees learn and succeed. They have a structured path to move up in the company and as an employee it's nice to know what the next step is and what I need to do to get there.

Cons

Teams are changing often due to promotions and growth opportunities. It is nice to be able to get to know a wide range of the employees at this location and learn from others that join your team or from a team you join after moving up.

Pros

The Bloomington, MN facility has free parking and there is a fairly decent restaurant on the first floor. The Bloomington facility also have a free gym and shower facility employees are able to use.

Cons

It is very easy to get laid off at this company. They present these "great" process improvement initiatives to the employees and say how great it will be that they can focus their attention on more responsibility and leadership roles, when in fact their main goal is to cut cost. One way they do that is through the elimination of people. There also seems to be a fair amount of nepotism at this company. For example, one of the "big wigs" in MN has her daughter working at the company, used to have her distant cousin working there, and school friends working there reporting to her. People at the company will stab you in the back just to get ahead. Don't trust anyone there! Our pay seems to be lower than the rest of the commercial real estate firms. Many of our jobs have been transferred to India.
