      Pros

      -Great sense of community, people practice what they preach -Software and daily activities are easy to pick up and accomplish with the tools provided to you -No day is ever the same as others

      Cons

      -Policies sometimes tended to be more strict than need be -As an intern, there can be situations were you are not going to receive compensation such as commission for the leases you work to sign -Residents can be aggressive, angry, or uneasy to please and this can be challenging if you have not handled these situations before on your own.

      AvalonBay is a great company to work for. I have worked here for almost 3 years in the human resources department and feel so blessed to be working for such a great company. A few things I really appreciate about the company -Supportive leadership team -Sense of family in the office -Company values your input and voice -Good work/life balance -Good benefits, especially discounted rent for associates

      Cons

      I happy to see the company investing in the training department and overall technology which is needed.

      Pros

      Great company with excellent opportunities to grow and advance. I have been with AvalonBay for 9yrs now and started out as a Maintenance Tech 2. Avalonbay has given me the chance to grow and learn as AvalonBay has grown. What you put in is what you get out. Excellent work/family life company. It is great how AvalonBay gives back to its communities and charity. Avalonbay also offers relocation opportunities as they are in several states and different cities nationally. I have worked in NY, NJ and CA. Now I have become a Maintenance Manager with aspirations of becoming a director of a region in a few yrs. Pay and benefits are very competitive. Avalonbay also offers housing discounts as well to its employees.

      Cons

      Pay can always be better. Sometimes during annual lease renewal avalonbay raises your rent outrageously but if you call and dispute they lower it a little. Do not get comfortable in one property as AvalonBay likes you to move and take on new challenges. Need to hire more on site help especially during the summer months with the heavy workload and large rent increases be prepared for overtime.
