Pros

Beautiful location at Santa Barbara. Product is kinda interesting.

Cons

- Very bad WLB. Non-stop meetings start from 8am and could last past 7pm. Almost no breaks in between, no times for breakfast, lunch, and sometimes dinner. A few days in a quarter, one needs to work till 2-3 am in the morning. - The pay is meager compared to the work load.

I'm disappointed to hear that you're experiencing a poor work-life-balance. While it's common for employees to work outside of standard business hours on an as-needed basis, it's our hope that this is not the norm. I encourage you to talk to your Leader or HR Business partner, and have an honest discussion about your workload and prioritization.

Pros

Frequent team outings and social events that help build relationships across the team. Generally a friendly, social environment!

Cons

The property management team is highly competitive when it comes to promotions, and I’ve seen BDRs remain in the same seat for years or eventually leave, as internal advancement opportunities can be limited. However, for top performers, there is promising upside, and you get to work with some of the best leaders in the organization. On the investment management team, leadership quality is more uneven, and there appears to be a lack of management experience, which has created gaps in coaching, accountability, and overall team development. As a result, performance outcomes have lagged, with the majority of BDRs and AEs struggling to consistently hit target. Team turnover has also been notably high, and leadership engagement only increased after a large portion of the team had already decided to leave, which by that point felt too late to rebuild morale or trust.
