Not Worth the Sacrifice - Leasing Agent Zidan Management Group Employee Review

No 401K Only 50% of health benefit covered by employer. Owners were out of touch with employee needs. They were always looking to buy buildings and expand, raise rents, raise app fees, raise pet rent, raise everything but didn't give the actual employees raises. Work/life balance was less than ideal. I had little availability for side work. My property manager lived on-site, worked endlessly, was rarely able to take even a 3 day vacation, and still chose to drive Uber after work to make extra money. I didn't know her finances, of course, but her need to have a side hustle even though she lived and breathed that building made me wonder how poorly she was being paid. I was the only leasing agent yet competed for commissions with my own property manager. They underpaid the maintenance staff so much that one walked out and it took them a month and a half to replace him bc they expected a lot of skills and training but weren't paying enough to offset their expectations. There was ONE housekeeper for the whole building. On her off days, security or the property manager cleaned. She was miserable and overworked. The rents for the building I leased for were a good $200 more per month than other buildings in the area and they were still raising rents annually. After one year of solid work and a glowing employee review, I was still not getting a raise. This was in 2017, after the new tax law passed and my state's income taxes got increased. So, my job was going to be harder bc the rents, app fees, pet fees, and pet rents were all being raised...but I wasn't even offered a raise to keep up with higher income taxes...so I was essentially expected to be fine with netting LESS for the same or more work. Less than a year after I quit, my replacement quit, my property manager quit, and the regional manager quit. That says it all.
