Pros

1. Lots of growth 2. Disrupting the marketplace 3. Core vertical (commercial real estate group) has really great, intelligent, nice people working who resemble a team 4. That's about it

Cons

1. Company is run by senior leaders who may clinically have Schizophrenia (I will expand) 2. Senior management is involved in day to day minor details, even though he has hired qualified leaders to do the job. He is involved to the point of reviewing and signing off on simple expenses (ridiculous) 3. Senior management has an army of folks who dont actually think for themselves and just take marching orders. They often defy logic in terms of how they process their day to day functions 4. Senior managers are masters of delegation, and do not actually do much work themselves. This way, they appear as they are always doing something but actually don't do much other than take work done by others and stamp it with their names 5. Things change every day, every week, or every month. Again, senior leaders have what appears to be Schizophrenia so random people can sway the company's trajectory and plans over night 6. No transparency. Changes in title or pay seldom happen. And when they do happen, it takes almost 6 months and sign off from several layers of senior management. It's absurd and miraculous to see the engine keeps running with so much red tape and ridiculous bureaucracy

Pros

Great company, always growing and implementing new ideas to make the company better. Very receptive to feedback.

Cons

Not much opportunity to grow and very limited hours. Not a real part time job, it’s part time, part time. Just a little something extra.
