Lots of Red Flags! - Anonymous employee Bowery Valuation Employee Review

I've been a freelancer with Bowery for 6+ months now and as a recruiter it is really important to me that I recruit people into a company where I'm confident they will be treated well and this company has given me 100% confidence that that is the case.

I can't think of anything.

1. Amazing culture unlike most commercial real estate shops. You can really, truly be yourself here, and be treated like a human being instead of a cog in a wheel. 2. Industry-beating technology that every other CRE shop in the country has spent years and millions trying to replicate. 3. Data, data, data: we are passively databasing everything. Everything. We're databasing things that other firms aren't even tracking. 4. Blue sky: except for a few geos (NYC, SF, FL) there is room to grow everywhere, both from a personnel and client standpoint 5. Young, diverse staff: I've never worked somewhere with such a large, strong base of early career professionals (and many of them are non-white, non-male, which in this industry is hard)

1. Technological limitations restrict (somewhat) the type of work we can do 2. Client base leads to mostly assets from $1M-$10M (which is fine if that's what you like, but is pretty low level for a lot of experienced appraisers) 3. Somewhat of a disconnect between sales team and execution team 4. Non-corporate benefits: if you are accustomed to publicly traded companies' benefit packages, this will be an eye opener. Not a deal breaker, but certainly a meaningful data point.
