Current Employee – been working at Jones Lang LaSalle

Pros – Global company with lots of business lines and avenues to build your career. Excellent benefits package and educational opportunities within organization.

Cons – Very top heavy. Espouses work/life balance but expects 24/7 availability. Very disparate compensation program with large salary deltas within a position or title. Promotion compensation schedule is not on par with culture messages.

Advice to Senior Management – Standardize compensation program and made grade levels and salaries available to employees.

Former Employee – worked at Jones Lang LaSalle full-time

Pros – Ability to work remotely
Pay and benefits are generally good

Cons – Management tends to make decisions without realizing potential impact on employees productivity
Saving money is primary focus and often results in time consuming procedures
When it comes to promotions and hiring, it is often who you know
Heavily process driven company

Advice to Senior Management – 1. Before hiring management, make sure they have sufficient experience and/or background for the area they will be working.
2. When making decisions with a client, make sure it is a viable option for implementation without negatively impacting an existing process and/or costs or creates a new more time consuming process for additional costs

Current Employee – been working at Jones Lang LaSalle full-time for more than a year

Pros – 1. Great time off, good vision and dental insurance
2. Multi talented pool of people with much insight, professionalism and education

Cons – 1. This company has no training for other positions. It is a very political culture. The mid level executives are all white men. Women work in support positions, HR, leasing, marketing, bookkeeping, training.
2. Health insurance is tiered. The best plan has a high deductible for a family to meet, esp. for a family that is on a tight budget. Company promotes being healthy. Cannot be healthy if you don't have money to go to the doctor because you will only use it if something major happens.
3. Brainstorming / innovative thinking not always appreciated. Cutting edge ideas & trends in the market do not sometimes matter to managment.

Advice to Senior Management – 1. Don't make your best health insurance plan have no copays and a hefty deductible with no HSA. Better insurance with low copays is much better than health bonuses.
2. Bring more women into mid level managment.
3. Weed out the Type A general managers who cannot be pleased. If you conduct surveys on everything, have one conducted on your general managers. They would be eye opening. Site employees know alot, especially for a company that is concerned about ethics.

Former Employee – worked at Jones Lang LaSalle full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Smart colleagues, global businesses with some opportunity for cross-border work.

Cons – Senior management is comprised of a small group of long-term white middle-aged men executives who rotate through senior leadership roles every few years. The firm could use some new blood from outside (not just someone (aka older white guy) joining through an acquisition). Most senior women managers are in the typical roles HR, Marketing and they are not viewed as power brokers. Very little diversity in senior leadership - it is a middle-aged white boys club. Compensation is low for non-broker employees as compared to market and 24/7 availability is expected despite the "work-life balance" sales pitch to new and potential employees.

Advice to Senior Management – Bring in some new managers with new ideas to make the firm live up to the promises made to prospective employees. Provide opportunities for growth to women and minorities - try to live the diversity policy instead of just talking about it.

Current Employee – been working at Jones Lang LaSalle full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Unified team work, fairly priced health benefits, highly intelligent and hard-working employees

Cons – Very limited oppportunity for growth; salary stagnation; demands for more responsibility without the salary increase or promotion despite achieements unless you are already a senior executive. Senior executives continue to receive promotions and raises.

Advice to Senior Management – Provide the basic reward and incentive with decent raises and promotions instead of saying a title doesn't exist make the title fit the appropriate position.

Current Employee – been working at Jones Lang LaSalle full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – At Jones Lang LaSalle, you will work with some of the smartest, hardest-working, most ethical people in the real estate industry. It's a great place to acquire new skills, hone existing skills, build relationships and challenge oneself.

Cons – However, because the company is flush with (younger) talent, and the real estate industry as a whole is stagnant, the organization lacks opportunties for personal and professional growth. It may be different in other areas of the organization, but in my area, the Managing Director level (and above) fail to understand the shifting internal and external landscape.

Current Employee – been working at Jones Lang LaSalle for more than a year

Pros – Work life balance , great benefits and 401k

Cons – Heavy workloads, minimal training or guidance from leadership

Advice to Senior Management – Better training

Current Employee – been working at Jones Lang LaSalle full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Where else could I get to work with some of the best people in the industry who are focused on clients who are the leaders in their respective industries in the world. Every day is a new challenge.

Cons – There's nothing that I would consider a "con". There are the normal challenges that you have in any other company where people and clients are involved but that's the nature of a client focused business.
