This place had to go.
|
|
Young people were smart and just all around great people
|
Everything else:
- Low pay. Like really low.
- Dull culture - no inspiration, no energy, no motivation
- Senior members weren't great - some wouldn't even show up for weeks at a time or show up like twice a week
- Mid-level members all looked pretty upset and just had a horrible energy. But how could you not? They were probably underpaid, underutilized, and doing extremely boring work - all of them for 5+ years!
- Analysts were glorified administrative assistants. Even if you wanted to grow, you couldnt because you had to deal with an outdated system - some things that should take seconds, would take 30 minutes. Scanning, printing, sorting through paper, running to get signatures, and organizing folders was 70% of the job
- Turnover was really high among young people because of all of the above. Company lost some really bright analysts (but you also couldnt be mad them - anyone would go crazy in this type of environment)
- No diversity. Only a handful of minorities during my time, and they were all smart and brought some life to the company (but left because everyone leaves). HR did a horrible job in this department (honestly not even sure we had an HR department...)
- And again - growth was limited - almost discouraged. It was just extremely sad

Company was bought out, so there's that. Pretty hard to find a place like this, so I'm sure the younger people will go up from here (happy for all of you!). Mid-level people, please dont take this culture over to your next job (doubt companies would allow it anyway). Senior people - I dont even know what to say... good luck?

An okay place to work
|
|
Managers are flexible, a chance to visit properties throughout the country, good work/life balance
|
Some employees or departments are obviously favorites, little opportunity for cross training

Not Great
|
|
The younger people in the office are nice. Two good company events during the year.
|
Working in LIHTC Asset Management is very administrative. This firm is stuck in the early 90's. Everything is done on actual printed paper and then re-scanned back into the computer. They use a proprietary software that is terrible. It's just a more confusing folder system to save all of their scanned in documents. All of the GP's use Yardi which is the industry standard, so it doesn't make any sense why they are trying to use their own software. There's lot's of wasted time cross checking data because half the time it was entered into the proprietary system incorrectly. Every AM team does the same things differently some make the process for simple tasks much more drawn out while other's just get too the point. There is an astronomical amount of turnover at the junior positions mostly because the pay is way below market.

Pay your entry level positions a market rate salary and use standardized practices among AM teams. Step into the 21st century and get Docu-sign; the amount of paper that gets wasted in that office is crazy.

Poor Management
|
|
Not much. Fun area to work in the summer. Great location.
|
Poor management and culture. If you're not from Boston or come in with an open mind you'll likely not hit in and it'll be the worst experience of your life. LITHC is a niche business.

Like most companies, your experience will vary depending on who you work with and the relationships you build. Luckily there are some managers that are better than others to work with as an asset manager. If you are on a good team, then you'll have a good time working with good people. Department culture is very 9-5 with early release days before holidays.
|
Some assignments can become tedious. Not a lot of movement after the asset manager role unless you become a senior level asset manager someone leaves. Unless you negotiate a higher salary coming in, you'll have to fight for larger raises.

Step back on trying to make things more efficient because sometimes the end result is less efficient, and it's very obvious some of the senior team leaders are simply trying to put their finger prints on processes for the sake of change.
