Pros
There is free coffee, if you are accepted into one of the cliques you can show up late, leave early, get great reviews and take long lunches. The benefits are decent.
Kontras
The company talks about diversity and inclusion and that may be something on the upper management level, but otherwise it is an environment of exclusion. Following a recent 90 minute classroom on Diversity and inclusion, several opted not to sit in the meeting because “it’s a joke” but logged into via phone. Leasing Ops is divided in many teams and within these teams Are cliques, they go out for lunch, get Starbucks, refill their water/coffee in the kitchen together, sit together in meetings and exclude 1 to 2 ppl on their teams with the excuse “well we are friends” and use it as a vehicle of exclusion. They mirror middle management who are equally cliquey and gossip about each other and their employees. This can take the form of frequent "closed door" meetings and/or walks to talk about “something important” between clique members, rumor-spreading and gossip mongering.
