There was so much to do at the ball park that we had to prioritize the work orders first. We checked for graffiti every day before a game and made sure it was removed and sometimes it couldn't be removed so we had to prime and paint. This mostly happened in the mens restroom on the stall walls. We made sure the stucco walls were painted and repaired if needed. And that all drywall were without marks or damage. Well we tried anyway. There was so much work to be done for just three painters. We really needed 6 painters we always felt to maintain the facility in the way in which management wanted. The stress was that there weren't enough house painters to do it all. And so we had to contract some of the painting out. You know, I learned that sometimes we have to Think Out Of The Box in order to get some things done. And then we're amazed and so gratified when we did.I had a really good relationship with management, they are a real good company to work for. Being the only woman on the team it was nice that my co-workers treated me with respect, and I also had a good relationship with them . Some of them I worked with for 11 years and we went through some storms together in the Engineering Dept. but we survived. I think the hardest part of the job for me was not being able to get everything done all the time because of our lack of staff in the painting department and that was a little frustrating. But, just imagine thousands of people coming in and out of your house day after day and you trying to keep up with the damage they do so that it can look close to as good as new as you can get. And the most enjoyable part of my job was to be able to stand back and look at some paint job I completed like a masterpiece and say " yeah, that looks good. "

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at this company is that it genuinely cares about its employees—not just in words, but in action. Leadership consistently prioritizes employee well-being, professional development, and open communication. There is a strong culture of support where team members are encouraged to grow, contribute ideas, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working at the company is that the primary form of training is on-the-job. While hands-on experience can be valuable, it can also feel overwhelming when learning complex responsibilities without structured guidance upfront. Adjusting in real time while managing performance expectations can create added pressure, especially for new employees.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture reflects a results-driven mindset while maintaining a sense of mutual respect. Team members rely on each other, and there is a shared commitment to getting the job done effectively. Overall, it’s an environment that rewards hard work, adaptability, and collaboration.

I thoroughly enjoyed my career at Hines.  The only reason I left was to pursue a dream to develop real estate in the mountains of Colorado.  Hines provided me the opportunity to serve in several positions within the organization including Controller, Project Management and Property Management.  Through these roles, I was involved in and gained experience in nearly every facet of commercial real estate development and operations.  This included accounting/finance, acquisitions, development of new projects and property management.  The hardest part of the job was the decision to leave the company to pursue mountain development!  The work place culture at all of the projects I was involved with was professional, dedicated and fun.  Team members were excellent, bright and dedicated employees.  Upper management did an excellent job of providing me new challenges and promoting career growth during my employment.

A typical day starts with a walk around the perimeter of the building and inspection of any important work that occurred the night before.

I manage a large staff and rely on each of my reports to keep me informed of any imprtant information I need to know in their area of responsibility.  Ownership at the property is a tenant in the building and is heavily involve din the day to day happenings.  Having information when asked a question is extremel helpful.

While my assistants are running the day to day operations at the building with my oversight, I spend most of my time meeting with ownership dealing with such things as capital plan strategy, budgets, leasing and major operational items.  Maintaining this relationship is key to keeping the client happy and for HInes to retain the management contract at the property.

I enjoyed working for the company for 10+ years, but my issue was with "upper level".  When you do your job well, proficiently, meet and exceed deadlines "they" feel as though you need MORE WORK.  For workers who do not meet/ exceed deadlines and "drag" they feel as though that is all they can handle so they do not give them more responsibilities/ work.  They "reward" the good workers with MORE work and the "slackers" keep doing what they are doing.  I once had a 2 "upper level" people tell me that "this is all that she (co-worker) can handle and if you help her with the "rest" with that then it will make "us" look really good in "VP of Finance" eyes.  Which meant, I do a majority of the work and help "co-worker" succeed in her limited tasks and it makes THEM look good and get a bonus.... which I did not.  Again, depending on the supervisor/ manager they overwork the people who can and allow the people who can't just "coast"

Have work for the company 14 years and was the best maintenance program there is.  All co-workers were great, everybody did there job well.  I learned what real maintenance of equipment was and how to maintain that edge on the industry.  Attended all kinds of classes to learn how to manage people and was taught how to get the most out of them. The hardest part of the job was learning how to deal with everyday circumstance that arose, and how to deal with them adequately and in a timely manner.  Once this technique was achieved, then the work load was much easier to deal with day by day.  Most enjoyable part of the job was customer service; this was my best contribution to the company,  I had the skills to interact with tenants and build dependable relationships and they knew they could count on me for anything.  I am also very dependable and always showed up for work on time; usually an hour early.

I worked at Hines several years ago and still regret having to make the very difficult choice to leave. As an organization, the company feels of a smaller "mom and pop" atmosphere in the sense that you're known by name, but has the resources of an organization operating multiple entities across many different regions and countries. Definitely a conservative company, slow to adopt to change and resistant to passing trends, Hines has a tried and true business model. I took away two stars for compensation/benefits because I was unfortunately, trapped coming in during a time where there was a lack of communication and an effort to hire within the lowest part of the range and I spent the better part of ten years working hard to catch up to my peers.

I was here as a temp through an agency and I learned a lot working for this company. The department that I worked for: the property management department was wonderful. You couldn't ask for a better group of professional and dedicated women to work for. They were supportive and walked me through everything I needed help on, because they knew it would help not just me but the company as well. If you have the opportunity to work here, especially as a property assistant, do it! The only reason I am not able to work here on a regular basis is that I am moving to the east coast. If that wasn't the case I'd be there with HINES for the long run.

I've been in the industry almost 25 years. Hines is a good company to work for. They give a lot of training and they do hire and transfer from within. As well as having buildings all over the U.S.
I don't like the way managers and chief engineers are very cozy with each other. Therefore if anyone under them has an issue. Management instantly sides with the chief. After all they hang out every weekend playing golf,going to expensive lunches, and inviting each other to family functions and award ceremonies .anyone under the chief doesn't stand a chance at getting a fair hearing.
Not to mention the chief engineer hires the sons of these same managers every summer.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I like the company values work life balance.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
raises are rounded down and not up.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work culture is pretty laxed. I think its a goal to make you feel comfortable. There are many different types of work atmospheres though as not everyone works in the same location let alone country or property style. There is encouragement to grow and move throughout the company.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
this question is too broad for a company of such
