Current Employee – been working at Grubb & Ellis

Pros – The pay is ok. The work is not hard for what you get paid.

Cons – The management in some departments is AWFUL.
It is a boys club.
Very behind on technology.
The worst is the peoples attitude that work there. This can really make or break a company and work experience. There was no team building and positive feedback, but they sure would give feed back if they had a problem with something.

Advice to Senior Management – More teambuilding and positive feedback is needed for their employees. Stop putting up with the "old timers" that are here that will not learn anything new.

Current Employee – been working at Grubb & Ellis

Pros – Work life balance; nice people for the most part; I think the current mgt team is pretty good and they seem to have a few $$$ in the bank

Cons – Over size egos; no hope for advancement or a bonus. Or a raise. It's not a sinking ship, but very, very stagnant right now.

Advice to Senior Management – I have a good deal of faith in upper mgt. It's going to take time though to turn things around. Until that happens ( a few years maybe?), it's going to be slow to no growth.

Former Employee – worked at Grubb & Ellis

Pros – Research and training great. I was hitched to a helpful broker that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons – G&E was not really for me in the sink or swim environment. Maybe expectations as a real estate professional was delusional. After my 3 mo. stipend was up I struggled for the next 7 months and could not take the stress.

Advice to Senior Management – More incentive to get Associate Brokers a piece of commission from established brokers.

Current Employee – been working at Grubb & Ellis

Pros – Good benefits, decent pay, depending on how much responsibility you have depends on how your hours are. Overall, its average. Not too bad, but not the greatest.

Cons – Upper management treats subordinates like crap. Recent layoffs makes for double work, no raises, no promotions.

Advice to Senior Management – Give credit where credit is due.

Pros – Property Management leaves lots of room to work without being micromanaged. They have lots of holidays and PTO days. Benefits kick in right away which is great.

Cons – Due to economy they stopped matching 401k's. Some positions get bonus's some don't. There isn't as much room for advancement as they say. After getting a B.S in Business Management I'm still only at an entry level position at a low pay scale.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop promoting people just because they've been there a long time. Loyalty only goes so far. Many people are incompetant as managers and have no business managing anything.

Former Employee – worked at Grubb & Ellis

Pros – Strong market presence. Better for more experienced level employees. If you're new to the industry, you'll learn a lot but will have a harder time growing.

Cons – Poorly organized, poor communication, no employee cohesion, low morale. A lot of it could be because of the market conditions, but I still feel that it would exist otherwise.

Advice to Senior Management – Communicate to employees
