Large company. Good reputation. Great employees.

Cons

Supervisor out of state. No rapid response to phone calls or e-mails. On one's own for immediate decision making. Priorities change weekly. Not run like local accounts.

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.
