Pros

- Dedicated, smart employees willing to help each other out -- not a lot of backstabbing here - Great PTO schedule with major (Memorial, Labor, etc) and minor (Veterans Day, Wednesday before Thanksgiving) off as paid holidays. Corporate offices closes week between Xmas and New Year. -Strong incentives for executives and investment teams - Attempt to build comaraderie at Denver corporate office

Cons

- Weak leadership from CEO of company does not provide clear direction (both short and long term) for the company - Clients (3rd Party business) are unhappy with Laramar and leaving in droves -- what's the plan for this business? - CEO can be punitive and short-tempered when things don't go as planned -- he rips employees apart on phone calls and in meetings -- not necessary! Pull the person aside to reprimand. - Weak culture has led to low morale and high turnover at all levels of the company

Ouch! But hey! We recognize that your perception is reality to you. We value your input and your comments. Laramar is in a "not-so-unique" space in time that many companies go through. We are re-organizing, re-configuring and taking a hard look at our business from the top down. Scott McMillan, new COO is implementing several strategies to re-align the business to match the market indicators and is also implementing changes for corporate employees who want, and can, take advantage of a "working-from-home" set-up. HR is working as fast as it can to improve the employee experience as well. So yes, I agree with you; it can appear rather chaotic just now. Change is inevitable!! Whats coming on the horizon is a focused business model, improved employee experience and very exciting taboot!

Pros

Good benefits and decent salary. The support at the Corporate level is excellent and I believe that, excluding the SF Bay Area region, this would be an excellent company to work for..

Cons

If you don't mind working for arrogant, belittling, lying, management then this is the company for you. They don't hesitate to hire you under false pretenses and then belittle and fire you with no warning for their mismanagement and ill preparedness. Avoid working in the SF Bay Region because these people are ruthless.

Pros

The people I worked with.

Cons

Cons, where to begin. This company likes to mask the good culture. It is very top heavy and really a lot of executives at HQ who do not know how to do their jobs. From the Finance team to the Leasing team and even HR. They like to pretend that they care for employees but really only care about themselves on the executive team. People get fired and leave way too much because of the culture.

This is disappointing to hear! We definitely pride ourselves on our positive culture and believe it's an accurate representation of our true culture - not a facade. Over the last several years, we've put multiple programs in place to show our team members how much we value the work they do and all that they contribute, and it's been positively received. Thank you for your feedback.
