Advice to Senior Management

Attempt to recognize employee personnal achievements with something more than a bonus. Good people represent the firm, show them that they are appreciated.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are good

Cons

Don't work here if you want to work your way up in the ranks. Advancement is based on length of employment not job performance or ability. Everything is micro managed, creative thinking is not encouraged. Used to be a big company with a small company / family feel but with the current corporate management team it has been turned into a drone factory for accountants. There is no place for you without a degree in finance. Morale is at an all time low and it will probably get worse because they are making major changes to operations.

Advice to Senior Management

Get Milton Cooper back at the helm at least he cared about his people.

Pros

Most people in lower management are nice.
Convenient area.
Good salary and benefits.
The average employee is in and out 9am-5pm.

Cons

Senior management is hardly approachable if you're near the bottom of the totem pole.
Professionalism is in question at all levels.
While they do promote to fill vacant upper level spots, they promote largely based on seniority instead of competence.
Senior management seems to not care at all about the people who make the company tick such as the Accounts Receivable/Payable Departments.

Advice to Senior Management

Show that you care, at least a little.

Pros

The company has an interesting business model. You get a unique perspective on real estate and the nature of shopping centers, ie. the cash flow is worth more than the asset (stores) itself.

Cons

they only do one thing. limited opportunity for growth, unhappy employees, unless you are a star in finance you will end up in a little cubicle doing the same thing month after month after month.

Advice to Senior Management

Senior management should have some skip level meetings and get to know the the little guy that make the company run everyday.

Pros

They offer great benefits to full time employees. Good medical, dental and other perks. Medical insurance here is well subsidized by the company. Your payments for your premiums are low-even for the whole family

Cons

The salary could be higher. I believe there should be more opportunity to advance in the company. You usually start off with the company as a temporary employee, then hope that there is an opening to move to permanent status. When you're a full time employee, you are then eligible to receive a wide variety of benefits. The New York employees seem to have more perks than the other branches across the country.

Advice to Senior Management

they need to be more involved with the day to day operations and see what's going on
