      Great Company that is Committed to being the Best

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Highly committed to being the very best. Tremendous amount of effort and resources are dedicated to understanding our markets and what our residents want / need. Great working environment with an emphasis on respect and genuine caring for one another. If you're a self motivated hard worker the opportunities are endless.

      Cons

      The work load can be overwhelming at times.

      Good Experience Overall

      Community consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      compensation office/company culture room to grow I enjoyed what I did as far as interacting with residents & doing whatever I could to make sure they were happy and had a good experience living at the community. The quarterly events were fun and it was a good opportunity to meet colleagues at other community & really feel like one big team. I learned a lot about customer service in this position and felt motivated.

      Cons

      work-life balance ridiculous dress code Having to work every weekend at a lease up & every Saturday at a stabilized community is difficult. Really limits your ability to be a normal person & spend time with your family & friends. The dress code changes were ridiculous and the necessity to move to different communities is a bit daunting - hard to really feel comfortable anywhere.
