Pros

One of the best companies to work for in the industry. Pay is Average, benefits are good, but company culture is what makes it worth it. Having managers that support you even when your needing to grow in areas is priceless.

Cons

The industry itself is paying to much attention to Google and Yelp reviews. It is not really considering the unique attributes of individual locations and communities that make them great or not so great. Being bonused on service related scores when price is the number one cause of low service scores is not really fair.

Pros

Some of the tenants are lovely.

Cons

No Security guards to protect the overnight workers just in case anything happens. When I initially started Avalon rented to nice respectable working families regardless of ethnic background which is cool. However in my third year and third supervisor / manager Avalon began letting all types of people into the building. As long as you can pay. It didn't matter what you did or the type of person you were. (ie: respectful.)
