CBL & Associates Properties Reviews

Pros

Good direct team members, numerous responsibilities forces you to learn and grow individually

Cons

Large, publicly traded corporation still run by a small family and few decision makers. Top-down culture, very slow dinosaur-like growth & initiatives. Refuse to spend money and compensate employees accordingly.

Advice to Senior Management

Show some recognition for your hard-working employees and offer even a small piece of the pie. When the company succeeds, so should your employees. Share the love so people stick around. Talk WITH them not AT them. Avoid scare tactics.

Pros

Reconizible name within the community and us

Cons

Disconnected upper management
Improper communication methods from upper management…aka temper tantrums
A public company ran like a private family owned company….can you say family partiality??

Advice to Senior Management

Fraternizing in the past has not paid off. You might consider not continuing it in the future.

Pros

Large publicly traded company. National presence. Large portfolio>

Cons

Company run by one family. Key positions held by family members despite not being qualified. Family members are grossly over compensated. Worst benefits package imaginable. Employees are not valued for their input. Very patriarchal. Need to kiss butt if you want to survive.

Advice to Senior Management

Doesn't matter. They would not listen. But here goes anyways...value your employees, discover their talents and let them add value based on their strengths. Management needs to be broom swept out the door. Hire and promote and compensate based on value creation and not family name. Try treating employees with respect.
