Pros

Training is great at AvalonBay you are constantly assigned training its a great learning experience for a beginner in Property Management.

Cons

Corporate Structure is already set there is no room for ideas on different ways to do the job. Many parts of job ie answering the phone, touring, communicating with customers is very scripted. Customer Service scores dictate every aspect of your job, customer reviews are solicited by on site teams and seem in insincere.

Pros

The workplace seems to understand that employee morale is a factor in retention.

Cons

It is very difficult to work a schedule between 9am-5pm, which is odd for the industry. The unfortunate part for the workplace culture is that most people enjoy the things the company provides, such as having contests and giveaways, but seems to pretend to be happy working there. Very few people seem to genuinely enjoy working there. The career opportunities seem to be mostly lateral.

Pros

Everyone is great at their job, and extremely motivated to produce the best possible product. It's easy to get to know people at every level of the company.

Cons

It's an older workforce. As a younger person, it's sometimes hard to relate to folks who have been working for 30 years already. On the other hand, they give great advice!
