Pros

Ever since I started with Avalonbay I've been able to clearly see the path given to me. Management is very open, honest and trustworthy. They provide you with the tools you need to succeed as well as the guidance to coach your peers.

Cons

The only con I could possibly give would be staffing. I would like to see a more thorough look into new hires and their skill sets. To set yourself apart from the rest you must provide nothing but the best.

Pros

I have worked for AvalonBay for a number of years and continue to be impressed with the company's commitment to its employees. Management asks for feedback on a regular basis and takes action on it. Employees are given opportunities to grow, are recognized for their efforts and are proud to work for the company.

Cons

Something is always changing (for the better) at AvalonBay, so don't apply to this company if you don't like variety and change in your work. There is also more work to get done than time in the day, so prioritization is also a key to success here.
