Pros

As a property manager, I felt trusted to oversee my property and daily operations while having clear structure through reporting and procedures. Leadership was always committed and supportive, and the resources from area managers and regional maintenance made a big difference. The company is well-organized, and I gained more knowledge and experience here than anywhere else.

Cons

Rapid expansion means the pace can sometimes be overwhelming, though it also creates great opportunities to learn and grow.
