Pros

AvalonBay has a very special and unique culture and it's what sets us apart from other organizations. This is also why you'll find such long tenure with associates across all departments. The people you work with on a daily basis are some of the brightest and nicest people you will meet, and are always supporting you every step of the way. After all, we are here for the same purpose: "Creating a better way to live". While working at AvalonBay you will also have access to a plethora of great benefits that are offered: In-person and web based training, Health and Wellness Benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision), Flexible Spending Accounts, Paid Time off, 401(k) with Company Match, LTD/STD, Tuition Reimbursements, Scholarship Opportunities for you and/or your children and Stock Purchase Plans to name a few. Among the many benefits that are offered you will also experience and live one of our main core values which is A Spirit of Caring - A genuine kindness and concern for others. We associates, have a strong belief in our Philanthropy Program and dedicate an entire month which is called "Spirit of Caring Month". This is a special time for AvalonBay to give back in the communities and regions we operate in. It also allows another opportunity for associates to come together and give back to others. I can't say enough great things about working here!

Cons

While I don't have any cons that come to mind - I will note that technology has been an area of focus for the company and improvements have been made since I've started with the organization back in 2013.
