Large percentage of senior management is white males. I felt that I had a fair chance of being promoted to management within my department, but would have to work twice as hard to make it to senior management. Some of the male brokers I worked with treated me like a personal secretary and made inappropriate sexist comments during meetings.

WIN (Women's Integrated Network) is a bit of a joke, at least at the corporate HQ. All senior level women talking down to women who are early in their careers about how to be more helpful and telling them to delegate out what they don't want to do...when most of those women are the people those women delegate to. Their advice if you don't have a supportive boss is to re-evaluate if you really want to work there. A whole lot of looking good on paper, but not really anything in reality.

Recent spate of national promotions were all white guys. Good news is that they're aware that there is a problem; remains to be seen if those initiatives will produce any improvement.

I cannot speak for the overall company, but in my experience working for them as a contractor in a pharmaceutical lab, their treatment of men and women who work on their crew is unprofessional and unacceptable. Certain members of management are definitely at fault. Many employees are exploited and taken advantage of. The benefits that they offer as a company is the bare minimum. Trying to speak with or reach HR requires personally investigation as it is not shared as common knowledge to their employees. Most of the working crew in this particular location are blocked from advancing their careers.

Men are given different options and opportunities that women are not. Men seem to network and cut through the red tape much faster than women; especially if the male is in an executive role. The training in my field is extremely rare. Within my industry, my company wants "young" Male Talent, and are not exactly willing to seek out women to promote and mentor especially in Commercial Real Estate. Women are supposed to be in Residential and the Men in Commercial. Those lines are getting thinner, but it is still a mans world in my field. Also, it is unreal that a person who is 50-65 years of age is discriminated against on job sites and applications. There are specific red flags that alert hiring departments to "relevant" of age people. I would also like the "what ethnic" background are you taken out of applications. If am qualified, who cares what my skin color is. And yes, the red flag alerts to that too. Thank you....

Very clear division of roles between males and females. Men were always in leadership and management positions while the women were always in support roles and predominately office-bound.

While the policies for leave for top brass were progressive 5 years ago, C&W has stalled out on pay increases, promotions and opportunities for women. Senior women in leadership aren't reviewed for competition for top openings, nor are they consulted. C&W has an opportunity to redefine the real estate leadership with women represented at the helm but an old school approach to talent grab is leading them into losing rather than retaining their amazing female talent.

The good ~~ the people, environment
The bad~~ Micromanagers, not all; but the century hasn't turned for some of them yet.
The Ugly~~benefits are not competitive with the market

Women only occupy administrative and support staff positions, and the men here view woman as that and only that - support. In reality most of these women are more intelligent than their superiors and their wasted potential is astounding.

It is a very male dominant company. If you are an exempt employee, you are expected to work on your time off. There is no work life balance. I get called on my time off constantly and am expected to be available or return calls. If I do not return on weekends, evenings and holidays, I will be reprimanded. Morale is very low since the company acquisition last year. Layoffs are occurred last year and are occurring heavily this year. People are stretched thin.

Very male-centric environment - unwillingness for flex time or work-from-home for anyone other than brokers. Pay and bonus are great, but expect to be treated as a secretary even if you aren't one (nothing wrong with secretary status - just see women being chosen for helper roles always, even in upper management)
