Pros

The residents and my co-workers are the reason why I love working at Avalon Bay. Avalon offers competitive wages. My co-workers have great work ethics and really care about the residents.

Cons

My supervisor is fair and tells everyone what there expectations are. He is non-threatening when he corrects me. He helps lift people's self-esteem, yet gets his message across."

Pros

Company culture and work environment is great, as are the associates - genuinely nice, smart people who want to help each other and residents. Benefits are really good. You feel essential and valued as a part of the company.

Cons

Workforce is pretty lean. So the workload can be substantial, but you're definitely never bored and are rewarded for your hard work.
