Leadership & Communication Throughout Crisis
|
|
Throughout the COVID pandemic, and other various challenges we have faced in the last year, MBRE's leadership has communicated where we stand as a company and how we will persevere. My team specifically has held weekly team meetings and is in constant communication. Corporate leaders have communicated with emails throughout the pandemic and most recently the company brought back a program that invites younger employees to spend time together/meet MBRE’s senior leaders and hear about their career paths. The sessions include Q&A's to make the meetings more interactive and ensure the younger employees are getting the most from each meeting.
While there were some changes to benefits, most of our benefits remained unchanged and the company was largely able to operate without restructuring or laying employees off the last year. The commercial real estate industry was hit very from the pandemic and most CRE companies cannot say the same.
|
There are disadvantageous working for a boutique firm. We lack some of the tools and technologies that larger firms have and don't have "buying power". That said, I'm more than a number to MBRE and appreciate that especially during difficult times.

Smoke and Mirrors
|
|
Good place to break into commercial real estate and or property management.
|
Too many silos, lacks a sense of community. A lot of big egos for no apparent reason or differentiation with in the vast commercial real estate industry.

A good place to work, if you like a corporate environment
|
|
If you express interest in growing in this industry, you will have opportunities for advancement.
Friendly people, executives are approachable and open to chatting
|
Low pay, pretty lousy bonuses for entry level positions.
Very corporate. Makes some attempt to make a more inviting environment with events, happy hours, other perks, but still a long way to go.
Benefits have a long way to go as well, particularly what they offer for maternity/paternity leave.

Be cautious.
|

The work was challenging and exciting.

I could use this space to tell you many disheartening, unprofessional, and negative stories of what I saw and experienced during my tenure here. Instead, I'm using this space to provide a list of questions that I would recommend you ask in the interview process. I wish I would have had the foresight to ask these questions.
What are MBRE's mission, vision and values?
Is the company healthy?
What is the turn over rate like for this role and across the company?
Describe the new-hire on-boarding process and expectations.
Does MBRE value employee engagement and if yes, what steps are implemented to achieve successful employee engagement?
Are employees ever surveyed periodically for feedback?
Are employees ever allowed to provide feedback on their work environment?
What is the career path for this role?
How is the annual review process conducted?
Is there ever an opportunity to provide feedback on those who oversee me?
How are bonus' or pay increases managed year-over-year? And do those percentages ever change without warning?

Amazing company, amazing people
|
|
I've been working at MBRE for over 15 years now and I can't say enough about the people and culture, from the very top down. It's a company that offers various paths for employees and encourages creative ideas from everyone.
|
I've been at the company for over 15 years and know I will be here for another 15+. If there were cons I wouldn't be so committed.

This is by far the best work environment I have ever worked in. I am amazed at why our score is so low. I can only guess it's because people are so happy here that they have never looked to leave or care to look at sites like this.
There is so much room for growth and management constantly empowers their employees. Doors are always open to talk to anyone. The company is constantly engaging their employees with various activities (self awareness classes, free corporate mentor, free financial advisers, happy hours, etc).
|
The biggest room for improvement is office snacks :)

Great downtown location. Free refreshments. No other pros I can think of.
