Pros

Money is money and if you are there they will pay you. Also you get your Oshawa 30 and first aid certificate

Cons

The construction side is oblivious to corporate structure. Signing up here requires sighting away your home life. If you don't like your wife or family this is your dream job.

Thank you for your review and I'm sorry that so far your time with AvalonBay has been anything less than excellent. A good work/life balance is imperative for all of us at AVB and I encourage you to discuss these concerns with your supervisor and your region's HR representative.

Pros

Decent employee culture, good training on various software systems & most people are great to work with. Everyday is different & interesting.

Cons

Lots of politics when it comes to internal promotions. Favoritism is alive and well. Hourly pay lowered this year by 12% for new Bonus Structure which was disappointing.
