Pros

There is nothing positive to say about this company.

Cons

Not only is this company disorganized, unprofessional and dysfunctional but they don't enforce their own policies. All they care about is ripping of the consumers not by increasing their renewals over 10% the following year using scare tactics. This is the most disgusting organization and a lot of unethical practices they preach. If you are young and looking to get taking advantage of apply at AvalonBay Communities where you learn bad customer service practices. This might go under the radar but let it be known they don't care about you as a person and will intimate you at all costs if you don't learn how to play their game. I would advise that their cult sales tools is worse than a used car dealership. Enjoying lying through your teeth to potential clients.

Too much work too little pay

Pros

Some of my coworkers were nice

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. Why hire more employees when you can just squeeze the ones you currently have? You might think you’re getting paid a competitive rate, but I promise that you are not. I’m a college educated individual who felt absolutely no opportunity for growth. Not to mention these companies are systematically gentrifying and pricing out low income families all over the country.
