Can be stressful at times

Pros

Great benefits, 20% off rent for any employee, 60-100% off for upper level management/maintenance, good people, corporate office will know your name, chance to dabble in multiple areas including marketing, finance, and sales

Cons

Managers on salary will have to put in long days to get ahead, micro management with numerous spreadsheets tracking your numbers daily, monthly, and yearly, investor owned so sometimes it seems like all that matters is the bottom line, living on site can be stressful depending on property, always short staffed with no plans to change, podded communities add to lower levels of customer service because staff is spread thin

Pros

Great benefits, decent pay. Human resources is very responsive.

Cons

Management is so "conservative" (cheap) that they are totally unwilling to work with people regarding scheduling and seem to prefer firing and hiring new employees to being flexible and making it a comfortable working environment.
