Great Place to Learn, but a Buttoned Up "Boys Club" Culture

Pros

Cushman & Wakefield has a great list of corporate clients, and if you are wanting to build your resume with solid corporate experience; this a great place to do it. I learned a great deal about the business of real estate during my time there, and was fortunate enough to build a repertoire of client facing experience. It is a very relationship based business, and the toughest hurdle of real estate is getting your "foot in the door" with clients. Cushman & Wakefield is the type of company that can provide those opportunities with large companies.

Cons

The main reason why I left was the culture. If you are white, male and belonged to a fraternity it college, it is a great place for you. If you are not any of those categories, be prepared for the assumption that you are someone's assistant, regardless of what your role actually is. The old guard hierarchy is highly valued there.

Pros

Since I work in HR I feel like my experience is a lot different than others who are client facing. I don't even know what most of our employees do if I'm being honest. Pros:You start off with 3 weeks PTO, and 1 week sick time which is better than other places. (Pto does not roll over though). 12 week paid maternity leave and 2 week paid for fathers Personally, the managers I have had are great and truly care about employees and understand worklife balance. A lot of departments have adopted hybrid schedules post covid

Cons

People are severely underpaid. They will lowball the F out of you if possible. Do NOT take their first compensation offer. We are but a number to the executives (whats new when at a big corp). Company is SO focused on being "woke" and spending so much money forcing it's employees to take "diversity classes" so they can say they are inclusive and with the times. Goes without saying but those at the top are granted bonus after bonus while us lowly workers who oversee so many day to day operations get MAYBE a $1,000/year raise (thats $83 extra a month). Have insanely outdated systems that cause constant issues, but the systems are cheap so they would rather stick with them than invest in a solid program. Literally nothing is streamlined AT ALL High turn over due to burn out, low pay and incentives, lack of trust in the execs. Even long term employees have decided to leave to work elsewhere Good stepping stone place to get some professional experience but I think for most this is not a long term company.
