Pros

Great leaders for managers and great staff members. Has various different positions in different fields and has opportunities to grow through side gigs.

Cons

Depending on what position you are in, there will be limited career growth. Raises are 2%-5% and be prepared to be back to work immediately after holidays.

Pros

An established company with benefits.

Cons

Been with Avalon for 6+ years now. As management and associates leave, roles are not being filled. From 1 manager per property to one manager for 6 properties. Changes to take away from our customer service are taking a toll on us forced to lock doors and no face to face interactions with residents. Managers are spread way too thin and not able to support the heart of the company on site. It has been brutal. Many times my team jokes that at least we are all suffering together and that is never how it should feel at a job.
