I'd rather stab my man parts with a rusty spoon than work here another day. Decreaing benefits, decreasing wages, increasing workload, increasing bullshhh... Why did I go to college?

Check out the Summer 96 lawsuit against Loopnet. It explains alot about this company and how they operate.

Pay and Benefits are ok, as is the location, but the rest is horrible. Extreme turnover. Middle management has no respect for their bosses (I don't respect them either, but a manager should NEVER make derogative comments about their bosses to subordinates), but then again, the director calls himself KennyPoo, so what can you say.

My Co-workers make great friends, but I wouldn't call too many competent.

What a joke to ask about career potential, all the good people quit or get fired.

If you like high turnover, daily change in policy, meaningless meetings and a thankless job this is the place for you.

I think Nancy Pelosi has a higher approval rating is higher than this place.

This place is ridiculous! Not only does every office in the USA working on Power Broker Awards, but on top of that, we have TWO OTHER PROJECTS!! They need to have a team of people doing "projects" only! And now Market Reports will be here in a few weeks! Can't they make a group of people that handle market reports and Power Brokers? Researchers and managers don't get paid enough to do this stuff!

Ex-employees from the San Diego office who are interested in the class action lawsuit regarding overtime and labor violations please contact Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik in San Diego. We need everyone's voice to be heard.

I work in field research, and I have to say this is the most laid back job I have ever had. It's especially nice because field researchers only have to deal with one person (their managers) and if you have a good manager (which I do) it's especially easy. I may not get paid as much as the office folks but from the looks of this website I think I'll take my lower paycheck over what you all have to go through. In all seriousness though, my apologies to you people who work in Columbia and Bethesda, it sounds like working in the office for this company really sucks.
