Pros

Very friendly people, snacks/ catered lunch, open atmosphere in the office. Ultimately a good first job but not a career.

Cons

Management does not listen, they act as if your suggestions are heard but no changes are made. Underpaid (the range listed is a lie), over worked. Very high turnover rate because good talent is not respected/ appreciated. Very political in the office and if you do not agree you are "outted." Nothing I was promised was delivered- no room for growth, no monetary compensation for good work.

Pros

By and far, the best reason to work at AppFolio is the people. They only hire the cream of the crop! They are smart, conscientious, and caring. The product is slick and cutting edge. The Engineering and Product teams have their fingers on the pulse of the property management industry and understand how to release product that really makes a difference in the lives of our clients! The pay is very comparable to other local software companies for a Success position. And contrary to some reviews, Customer Success offers a lot of room to grow with the company both personally and professionally, but there is a natural order. For starters, you have to put in time to master the product, which has a steep learning curve and is constantly changing and improving. This can take well over a year, so you have to be patient. You also have to show middle and senior management you are dedicated to the company and are willing to roll up your sleeves and put your time in. The company is growing a lot and positions are always opening up. If you make it clear that you want to grow with the company they'll advance you.

Cons

It is hard to plan labor needs to meet queue needs, so you can feel overwhelmed at times. The management team is sensitive to it and they are doing everything they can do mitigate it.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience at AppFolio. I love hearing you say that you have to put the time in to master the product and be willing to roll up your sleeves and get the work done. This is the kind of attitude and work ethic that we do look to reward with career growth over time.

So glad to hear you've gained some valuable experience in your role. Customer Success is typically the first job right out of college and is the perfect way to build important skills that you will carry with you throughout your career - communication, problem-solving, task management, teamwork and leadership are just a few examples of the types of skills developed while working on the front lines supporting our customers. That said, career growth takes time and sometimes doesn't come as quickly as you might hope for. I encourage you to take ownership of your own career, evaluate the skills you've built and match them to concrete examples of your accomplishments, work with your manager to understand which skills you can develop to grow your career and to earn another position or promotion in the company. If you feel you aren't getting enough help from your direct manager, please feel free to reach out to the Director or VP of Client Services (one of the Mikes). We have so many examples of team members who have are motivated to do the work to earn career growth and would love to help you on that path.
