Pros

401K, Health Insurance.....that's about it.

Cons

Low Pay for the amount of work that is done. Managers take all the praise and recognition for the hard work of leasing consultants. Leasing Consultants are expected to do everything and managers frequently delegate their tasks to the consultants. No room to grow unless you suck up and play nasty office politics. Very hostile work enviroment and main focus is on survey scores instead. Mind-numbingly boring and very slow paced. If you are looking for a boring, dead end job, then this is the perfect place for you!

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
