Pros

You get some real hands on sales and customer service experience. Great internship for a junior in college looking for a resume booster.

Cons

Started out as a management/marketing internship, but lacks structure eventually you become just a community consultant. Instead of receiving the commission that you earn from signing leases, you're hardwork goes to the other employees... which is very disheartening at times.

Encouragement in employee growth and development. Listened to associate concerns through regional town halls and Associate Perspective Survey. Now taking action on those main items. Truly cares about associates at all levels.

Technology, but as others have mentioned they are addressing these issues.

Pros

Extremely stable environment. The company actually cares for the employees. They promote a more unified work environment. Extremely Customer Service Oriented Provides training for all the different software's needed

Cons

Needs to have more user friendly softwares or programs. You need to search in a billion databases to find what you need. Slow softwares, long wait times to process things. Maintenance department is managed separately, Community Manager doesn't control or manage any of it.
