Good company to apply what you have learned over the years.

PM (Former Employee) - Mexicali, B.C. - January 9, 2023

This is a company where confidence is very important. Good place to manage the job on your own style since site team is very small. Micromanagement is something you will not face here.

Pros

Freedom to decide and manage jobs your own way. No micromanagement.

Typical

Assistant Property Manager (Former Employee) - Pennsylvania - September 7, 2022

Typical “big” company behavior. Pretend to care about employees but unless you’re apart of upper management you’re meaningless. Little to no diversity (age or race)

Very cut throat environment

Operations Manager (Former Employee) - Irvine, CA - June 27, 2022

I did not find the people to be honest. I found the work environment to be hostile and the management would pitch the employees against each other. There was not a sense of transparency. It was sad. It sort of reminded me of that movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" but obviously on a slightly smaller scale than the movie.

Overall decent company

Facilities Manager (Former Employee) - Midland, MI - March 9, 2022

Decent company to work for. Everyone is stretched a bit thin to be as effective as they could be. The corporate support is great, you just have to be willing to reach out to them. There is room for movement, and have the opportunity to learn a lot of new skills.

Pros

Location, corporate support, flexible

Cons

High demands

Most people were nice and helpful.

Lease Administrator (Former Employee) - New York, NY - December 17, 2021

A typical day at work is go through emails and respond to tenants' inquiries or other dept. I've learned a great deal about prioritize several projects.

Pros

Flexible lunch hours. They don't micromanage and let you do your best on your own.

Cons

Healthcare was expensive.

Life on the road

Roving Engineer (Current Employee) - Tampa, FL - November 8, 2021

The support staff is awesome as well as my management! I drive about 14 hours per week. Average about 1 night per week in a hotel out of town, but at times a whole week if working on a project.

Pros

Very Supportive

Cons

IT and passwords changes!

Just a number

Building Engineer (Current Employee) - Ohio - October 9, 2021

Just an employee with a number. Communication with this company and the one they provide service to sucks. Pay is no where near what the position should get.

Old School/Dark Ages

Brokerage Services Coordinator (Former Employee) - Seattle, WA - September 10, 2021

Wouldn’t recommend if you want to enjoy going to work. Women are mostly admins and men the brokers. Pretty much no diversity or advocacy. Pay rate was great but not enough to make up for the bad. Wish I could leave a good review but there was little to nothing good there.

Pros

Great pay, decent benefits, nice coworkers.

Cons

Corporate male culture, no understanding of Covid prevention, unprofessional, boring, on your own.

Global company that cares about its employees.

Porter/Maintenance (Current Employee) - New York, NY - July 25, 2021

I find this company is very fair and gave me the opportunity to work and excel. They're caring to your needs and have kept me employed throughout the whole pandemic.

Pros

Treats employees great, pertaining to sick time, they're fair in many aspects regarding the pandemic and weather changes, theyre caring.

Cons

No complaints

Newmark told me to my Face they didn’t care about their employees

Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Atlanta, GA - June 9, 2021

Only the brokers matter to them and operations doesn’t know how to manage. They don’t utilize skills they hire people for and waste resources on useless tasks. I was literally called away from my desks for things that were either below my skillset or not my job at all (IT) stuff. Not a great place for recent graduates. Anyone they said progressed through the company only amounted to a director of operations or doing something in leasing after 10 plus years. Management complained of being overworked but they spent the least amount of time in the office. Frequently long coffee breaks, left the office for hours randomly, wouldn’t show up until 11:00 am and wondered why they were so busy...it’s because they never showed up to work. Benefits and 401K are useless as well.

Pros

None

Cons

Everything - don’t waste your time here

No Advancement, Great Work Life Balance

Software Engineer (Former Employee) - Chicago, IL - March 16, 2021

Title says it all, everyone is nice but your not going to grow much as there isn't really much to do at the job. No one is interested in advancing themselves.

An OK Company to Work For

Marketing Admin (Former Employee) - Los Angeles, CA - February 25, 2021

Out of many CRE firms I have been employed with, Newmark is just ok. Benefits are mediocre—expensive health insurance, no 401k match, good PTO and holiday allowance—didn't treat employees great during the pandemic though. Laid off a ton of people and furloughed a bunch more, everyone else took pay cuts (we were at 15% reduction, all of 2020). Management is kind of all over the place and there wasn't a lot of growth. BUT, before the pandemic, the people and the office were great. Tons of great, fun people to work with and lots of office events and camaraderie. Fun place to work and the office was really nice. In my opinion, it definitely depends on where you work and who you work with in this company. Definitely a great place to be for a short time but wouldn't consider this a forever employer (for me). I have since left.

Pros

Fun colleagues, nice office, some flexibility with work/life balance

Cons

Expensive benefits, no 401k match, slow growth, poor pandemic response

Productive company

Loan Processor (Current Employee) - Dallas-Fort Worth, TX - January 30, 2021

I have been working here since 2019 and loved it ever since. They care a lot for their employees and are flexible with you with especially if something comes up with your children

Pros

Free lunches and great company parties

Cons

Work life balance could be a bit better

Good Entry Position

Research Analyst (Former Employee) - Las Vegas, NV - December 21, 2020

This is a good job for a young, entry-level professional that wants to grow in their real estate career, or for a person has a basic understanding of their market and wants to learn more by helping a large brokerage company.
