      Pros

      Good benefits, great holiday schedule, opportunity for great compensation at the right property. Do not have to work Sundays. The staff on-site is very friendly and helpful. Company does events 2-3 times a year.

      Cons

      This company does not have the best hours including Saturdays unless in upper management. The training is not the best medium (a lot of online based solo training). The company will sometimes overlook an internal promotion and hire an outside canidate and rely on current employees to provide training which is very discouraging when attempting to move forward in career. It is hard to advance unless you work for the right manager that can get you noticed for the hard work you do.

      Pros

      AvalonBay has one of the beat "team" mentalities of any company I have worked for. Everyone truly works for the benefit of our customers, company, and co-workers. With the amount of company growth and expansion, there are always avenues and opportunities for advancement and exploring new positions if so desired. My co-workers are some of the most knowledgable minds and fun people to work with. The work load, challenges and demands on your skills are high, which keeps things exciting and interesting.

      Cons

      Pay rates are lower than comparitive jobs in other companies. Communication between different facets of the company could be improved.
