Great health benefits that’s about it.

Poor bonuses for leases obtained and overall dishonest management. I have worked coast to coast, between California and VA.

Pros

The best reason to work at AvalonBay is that you'll be surrounded by kind, smart and a professional group of people. Total compensation is higher than industry standards

Cons

Favoritism, indirect management style, you have to be "liked" to be respected in the organization, HR is in the best interest of management not the employees, Highly hierarchical
