Arbor Realty Trust Response

Arbor is a highly entrepreneurial atmosphere. That makes it fun and challenging for many and for others, it may not be a fit. We understand that and try our best to position everyone for success. We focus on supporting long-term career growth and a place our employees can call home. As a result, our business strategy is, and always has been, to hire full-time employees where accountability, performance and creativity are encouraged and where hard work is embraced and appreciated. That is truly what makes this company so special and what helps our employees thrive and grow.

Pros

I can’t think of anything positive to say

Cons

Negative upper management. If you’re not interested in being buddy buddy with the higher echelon, forget about advancing. If you’d like a job that says family is key but that frowns upon you taking time for your family, than this is the job for you.

Pros

Management doesn’t micromanage as long as your get your work done. Really nice offices. Decent pay. CU/DCUs are super nice and helpful with any and all questions.

Cons

Deals are super sketchy. Sales guys run the company. Constant pushback when a deal shouldn’t work. You’re just a number. Benefits are horrible (like a 1.3% 401k match). If you’re not in the Boston Bros Boys Club, you don’t exist.
