Trammell Crow Company Reviews

Pros

Staff is great.
Friendly environment
Great benefits

Cons

No opportunity for growth
Mediocre pay

Advice to Senior Management

Get competitive pay scale, staff reviews should include advancement goals

Pros

There are some executive level benefits that compare very favorably to some executive level benefits provided by "competitive" United States based companies.

Cons

This company's executive and senior leadership model is a "matrix" model. Yet the operations are "vertically intergrated". It is very similar to a "franchise" model. This company does not do a sufficient job of intergrating the two models.

Advice to Senior Management

Concentrate on making sure the individual "franchises" are suprted and encouraged, but are obligated to utilize the "matrix" style executive and senior leadership model.

Pros

Great pay, people were nice for most part, alot of perks, great work life balance, great location in the city

Hardley no rom for growth unless you was the best friend or son of upper management , upper management never was in the office

Maintain conservative underwriting at all times

Pros

Access to deep talent pool, great name, information sharing with CBRE employees, energetic and fun employees, good work life balance

Can get lost in a big company, must be with a good team to excel, must have the right personality fit with your team or it won't last

Advice to Senior Management

There are some huge egos - need to get rid of some of the top earners who aren't producing. more training and information sharing across business units would be helpful.

Pros

Good facilities mgmt co AND has strong base in US

Cons

Not fairly paid and promotions not on merit basis.

Advice to Senior Management

This co no more exists, take over by CBRE

Pros

Great resume builder, network of former TCC workers is strong, good management, entrepreneurial environment

Cons

TCC recently was bought by CBRE so many of the talented leaders have now left the company. Trammell Crow is no longer considered to be as premier as it used to be now that it is owned by CBRE

Advice to Senior Management

Better recruiting process. Lack of good process for MBA's and college recruiting. The process seemed to be very disorganized and no one seemed to take ownership of mistakes when they occurred during the recruiting process.
