Pros

There Are So Many Ways To Apply Oneself In A Positive Atmosphere, Helping Community Members Enjoy The Full Benefits Of Residential Management And Property Maintenance; A Great Place To Work Where Others Do Not, Which Is Very Rewarding As You Are Welcome And Made A Part Of The Community, Because You Truly Care!

Cons

Needs Further Coaching Of Staff To Adhere To Building And Electrical Codes, Further Training And Continued Engineering Maintenance Education Required As Problems Continue To Arise From Previous Failed Service Maintenance Practices And Bubblegum Patch Techniques; It's Concerning When Plumbers Don't Even Use A Product In Which Other Technicians Do And Don't Understand How Damaging It Will Be To The Company Property In The Present Future; Other Staff Are Disgruntled And Appear To Take Acts That Inherently Are Disrupting In Every Aspect Of Maintenance Occurrences....Still, Buildings Can Be Saved....

Pros

Housing discount, strong portfolio exposure, opportunity to work across multiple communities, and valuable experience in a fast-paced leasing environment.

Cons

Management loves to preach “teamwork” until something goes wrong, then suddenly it’s every employee for themselves. Very documentation-heavy culture where certain managers seem to enjoy writing people up more than actually developing talent. Communication is inconsistent, accountability is selective, and favoritism is hard to ignore. Commission structure is shockingly low for the workload and expectations. Leadership often presents itself as organized and supportive, but behind the scenes there’s a lot of blame-shifting, targeting of employees, and policy confusion — especially regarding employee housing and lease transitions. My own experience at the end of my employee lease felt retaliatory and left a very negative impression.
