Pros

Associate empowerment, concern for employees well being, extensive training, Company name is awesome leverage on your resume. Very easy to feel apart of a team effort, investment in a long term career. You are always in the know about company progression and performance.

Cons

It's about who you know, not pure talent. Associate advancement is mapped out months in advance, so if you are not on the current road map your turn will pass. If you are not a suck up, promotions may not come as easy.

Pros

Strong development and property management team

Cons

The internal systems were archaic and desperately needed upgrading. Still clinging to legacy systems like Lotus Notes. Internal systems and controls need upgrade to stay competitive in the market.

Pros

The work life balance was really good. You get to have a set schedule (for the most part) and AvalonBay really does take great care of their employees. The training program is exceptionally good with many region wide classes set up for new employees. Quarterly events are very fun and a great way to recognize employees.

Cons

I've never worked for a place that is perfect and I don't know that there is such a thing, Anything that may have ever come up was handled professionally and with care for the employees. Transferring was more difficult that I expected and ultimately is the reason I had to leave as I needed to relocate and there were not any open positions. However I am still waiting for something to pop up so that I can rejoin the AvalonBay Family!
