Pros

Strong senior leadership who are in tune with the economy and excellent communicators. There are great advantages to working with the best, brightest and by far the industry leader in commercial real estate. Brett White and Cal Frese are top knotch leaders who are responding well to the credit market crisis. There are tough decisions being made to protect the investors, employees and the leadership team has come across as "up-front" and "on-the-level" throughout the process.

Cons

The benefits are not as competetive as other major companies, especially in the fortune 500 arena. The healthcare benefits are expensive but have steadily improved over the last few years.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
